This handbook for academic writing and composition caters to the needs of students across the disciplines of humanities and social sciences, pure and applied sciences, and commerce and business studies. 
The book uses a collaborative learning approach, with carefully sequenced units:
·    introduction to the writing process
·    the conventions of academic writing
·    writing in one's own words: summarising and paraphrasing
·    critical thinking: synthesis, analysis and evaluation
·    structuring an argument: introduction, interjection and conclusion
·    citing resources, editing and peer review
These units give you a comprehensive idea of all the stages of the process of academic writing and all the necessary tools, to approach the task of writing and composition with confidence. The book will be equally useful for students who are beginning their academic journeys and even for those who have already embarked on their journeys, but find that they could do with some help with their written communication, which is crucial for the fulfilment of their academic and professional aspirations. 
Written by practitioners with decades of experience in the field of teaching and research, the aspiring writer will find the units useful, accessible and very reader friendly. The primary strength of the book is its judicious balance between theory and practice and a plethora of writing activities and abundant examples of good writing, which will act as guideposts for the learner to follow.
