The Longman Handbook for Writers and Readers, 2/e, builds on the first edition's emphasis on the importance of readers and reading to the writing process. With renewed attention to strategies for effective writing and recognition of a reader's needs and responses, the second edition shows students how these strategies apply to three different communities of writers and readers: the academic community, the public community, and the workplace community. This exploration of communities encourages students to adjust writing style and purpose to meet the needs of varying audiences.
