Product Description

Product Description
This book provides students of all ages with easy-to-follow guidance on how to structure an essay and how to select and research the most appropriate subject to write on. Part A contains clear, broken-down advice on gathering and developing information, structuring, and clarity, and Part B provides a look-up reference to support the first.

He has published two academic books, a biography of the eigteenth century poet Christopher Smart and a collection of essays: both with Associated University Presses (both published in 2001). He is at present working on a new biography of Daniel Defoe.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a no-faff book that gives it to you straight, 24 Aug 2004
By E Muller (Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The only essay-writing advice book I've ever come across that actually helps! Mounsey practices what he preaches - tells you what to do and why it works to do it that way, gives examples, and doesn't waffle. It's concise, readable, nicely presented, well-designed, properly-bound, and fits in your bag so you can read it on the bus. Wish I had found this book before I bought the 3 other ones that were no use at all. Highly recommended (in case you hadn't guessed already).

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, helpful advice, 15 Feb 2006
I have a number of books about writing essays and dissertations, but this one stands out as one of the best. If, like me, you panic at the sign of essays, this will help break it down into managable parts, giving clear advice about how to write, structure and develop an essay.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it and wish I'd bought it months ago, 14 Jun 2006
By R. Podmore "RP332" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What a pleasant surprise. An easy to read no nonsense book that takes you step by step through writing assignments. I always struggled with shorter assignments, but this book tells you how to lay they them out and what to put in them including how many quotes and where to find them ~ fab!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for essays...not so much for dissertations
This is very well written and informative but is mainly aimed at people writing essays. There is only one chapter on dissertations, and although very good it is too short. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Good for GCSE students - this book has a misleading title
This book might be OK for GCSE students, who will love the cartoons, but quite frankly not worth bothering even getting out of the library for MA students. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money
This book tells you everything you need to know about essay writing so therefore academic essays become so much easier.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK but a bit superficial
Now don't get me wrong, what this book does say is good - I just don't think it goes into enough depth (for my needs anyway). Read more
