Welcome, writers! Open to all readers of Norton composition books and to anyone who wants to be a better writer or researcher, this site includes three primary sections: Writing and Rhetoric, Research and Documentation, and Exercises. Each section includes a variety of practical resources for all stages of the writing process.

exercises |
More than 1,000 exercises on sentences, words, and punctuation and mechanics provide students with instant feedback with links to an Online Handbook. |
Coming July 2008: Writers often combine words and images to present information that could not be conveyed as powerfully by either one alone. Our slideshow maker allows you to create a visual text using images from your own photo-sharing site or from our image archive.
