A Handbook for Writing and Research, 6th edition, by Elaine Maimon and Kathleen Blake Yancey
Everyone is a writer.

Through writing we achieve goals, influence others, and have a voice in our democracy. Yet, many underestimate their writing abilities and stay silent when they should speak out. A Writer’s Resource: A Handbook for Writing and Research provides guidance for students--and for those who used to be students--on everything from informative reports to blogs.
