Using student perspectives, promising writing practices, and a dash of personality she gives readers permission to move beyond traditional college-level writing.

I am extremely excited to share this resource with the student writers I teach. I believe that writers of a variety of experience levels can significantly benefit from this book." - Sean Ruday, Associate Professor of English Education at Longwood University

"All writers struggle to find their voice. In Styling Your Writing, Jen McConnel brings her sensibilities as a writer, a teacher of writing, and a fashionista to help others "change their writing outfit" from casual to formal and everywhere in between. While I don't pretend to be a trendsetter, I do understand what happens when we try on new strategies, and McConnel's approach to style one's writing will fit both teachers and students well." - Troy Hicks, Professor of English and Education at Central Michigan University and co-author of Creating Confident Writers
"McConnel's voice and personality shine through in this text! It is an engaging read that breaks down barriers that impede writing tasks with the use of a clever metaphor: getting dressed.

After a particularly tumultuous time for teaching and teachers, this book will help you refresh your (writing) wardrobe!"- Pauline Skowron Schmidt, Associate Professor, English Education at West Chester University and Director of the West Chester Writing Project
