實用寫作=The Practical Writer(Ninth Edition)（第9版）（簡體書）

《實用寫作》已再版9次，得到各國寫作方面專家的普遍認可。本書面向寫作的初學者，從一段式短文到五段式短文，再到學術論文，循序漸進地講授如何寫作。本書內容豐富，簡單易懂，所介紹的寫作策略可以被應用在多種文體中，具有極強的實用性。此外，標點和表達部分更是學生必備的英語寫作知識。同時，根據當代大學生的需求，書中還加入了邊注、練習和例文。
本書突破了傳統的寫作教學方式，突出口語化寫作，讓學生掌握清晰的寫作結構，并練習寫作個人的經歷和熟知的人或物，目的是為了讓寫作豐富多彩，充滿樂趣，更重要的是讓學生用獨特的視角來學習寫作。作者文筆流暢，避免使用大量的學術化語言，如同在課堂上與學生親切交談，大大拉近了與讀者之間的距離。引用作者的話說：“我們所講的寫作模式，不是寫作的目的，而是對寫作的指導。”
