Editorial Reviews

"I consider Real Essays a co-teacher."

―Gary Matthews, Tougaloo College

" Real Essays is the right book for helping the right students become the right writers, thinkers, and citizens."

―Michelle Lindquist, Waubonsee Community College

"It has its greatest strength and best meets my students' needs through its clear explanations and plentiful examples and grammatical exercises. In short, the level it’s written on is exactly what I'm looking for in a textbook and what my students need."

―Tamara Shue, Perimeter College at Georgia State University

"One of the things I really like about the book is its recursiveness, as it keeps reaffirming the importance of steps taught earlier."

―Jennifer Dunn, Carroll Community College

Real Essays with Readings

Psychology in Everyday Life

Writing for success in college, work, and everyday sixth edition | ©2018 susan anker; miriam moore, institutional prices.

ISBN:9781319054977

Read and study old-school with our bound texts.

Apply academic writing skills in a real-world context

The central goal of Real Essays is to help students reframe writing as a skill essential to their everyday lives rather than just another stepping stone on their way to graduation. Built on the foundation of the Four Basics, the text guides students through the writing process, giving them technical skills, rhetorical knowledge, and creative confidence. Real Essays helps students connect the writing class with their real lives and with the expectations of the larger world. This new edition breaks out types of writing by purpose as well as rhetorical mode, helping students discern what to write for which assignment, and includes professional model essays together with instruction, as well as in a separate reader in the back of the book. We have also added a "reflecting on writing" feature, giving students the opportunity to practice metacognition in their own writing, and updated the selection of model essays, including those by students. This edition can be packaged with LaunchPad Solo for Readers and Writers , which includes LearningCurve, the adaptive online quizzing program with immediate feedback. LaunchPad Solo for Readers and Writers provides instructors with a quick and flexible solution for targeting instruction on critical reading, the writing process, grammar, mechanics, style, and punctuation based on students’ unique needs.

Susan Anker

Susan Anker (BA, MEd, Boston University) brings a unique perspective to the teaching of the developmental writing course. She taught English and developmental writing before entering college publishing, where she worked for eighteen years: as a sales representative and English/ESL editor at Macmillan Publishing Company; as developmental English/ESL editor, executive editor, and editor in chief at St. Martin’s Press; and as vice president and editor in chief for humanities at Houghton Mifflin Company. In each of these positions, she worked with developmental writing instructors and students, maintaining her early interest in the field.  Since the publication of the first edition of Real Writing in 1998, Anker has traveled extensively to campuses across the country, continuing her conversations with instructors and students and giving workshops and presentations. She believes that the writing course is, for many students, their first, best opportunity to learn the skills they will need to succeed in college and achieve their goals.

Susan Moore

Miriam Moore

Miriam Moore is Assistant Professor of English at the University of North Georgia. She teaches undergraduate linguistics and grammar courses, developmental English courses (integrated reading and writing), ESL composition and pedagogy, and the first-year composition sequence. She is the co-author with Susan Anker of Real Essays, Real Writing , Real Reading and Writing , and Writing Essentials Online . She has over 20 years’ experience in community college teaching as well. Her interests include applied linguistics, writing about writing approaches to composition, professionalism for two-year college English faculty, and threshold concepts for composition, reading, and grammar.

Publisher Description

Real Essays puts essay writing in a real-world context, showing students that critical writing, reading, and thinking skills are both attainable and essential to student success.

Real Essays helps students to connect the writing class with their real lives and with the expectations of the larger world. This new edition has expanded rhetorical situation coverage, emphasizing the rhetorical triangle (audience, purpose, and author), and helping students think and read more critically. In addition, even more situational writing from the workplace showcases how students will use writing beyond the classroom. Profiles of Success from former students, over forty professional and student readings (50% new), and proven step-by-step grammar and writing instruction, energize and encourage students while giving them the support they need. With a simplified design, this updated version of Real Essays helps students realize their goals and gives instructors the support and tools they need to help them reach those goals.
