Shining Scribes: Stating Your Case
Providing evidence to support your views is a crucial aspect of good writing. Whether it’s a Statement of Purpose for a job application, or a Reader Response Essay to gain entrance into a college, as writers of these we need to be able to clearly express our point of view, and give reasons, details, and examples to support it.

Shining Scribes: Using a Professional Register
