Editorial Reviews

"The chapters on documentation are great."

Audley Hall

"A book students can really use on their own."

Pat McQueeney

"I would order this handbook. I commend its clarity and conciseness."

Pamela Bourgeois

"This book is smart and useful—and it’s well-designed. Students can easily find what they need."

Susanmarie Harrington

"The material on rhetoric and genre is a real plus."

Jeffrey Andelora

The Little Seagull Handbook models the very concise and precise writing we hope our students will achieve…. keeping details to a minimum and clearly explaining the essentials.

Robert Hurd

The combined glossary/index is great. Students get to understand an unfamiliar term and at the same time find a page with further instruction. This is efficient, reader-centered writing.

Carolyn J. Fulford

For its price, The Little Seagull is the best college-level handbook available.

Paul Licata

I like the focus on different types of academic essays—arguments, rhetorical analyses, research reports, personal narratives, literary analyses, and so on. I actually changed the focus of my class to address these kinds of writing.
