The author's suggestions will work with numerous genres, literary analysis, on-demand writing (essay exams) and the college entrance essay. Going beyond grammar and spelling problems, this guide differentiates editing from revising and offers a multifaceted approach which will move students toward an understanding of revision as a process that will help foster fluency and clear written communication.

Anyone, not just a young person, who would like to become a more proficient writer would benefit from reading Is It Done Yet?.
