Essay Writing Guide is an essential reference tool for student writers. Whether composing a five-paragraph paper, a college application essay, a dissertation, or preparing for the Advanced Placement (AP) English Literature Exam, Essay Writing Guide will help you on your way. For almost three years Essay Writing Guide has been a great success on multiple platforms with more schools and universities adopting it into their curriculum every day.

The elements of writing are arranged around four interface wheels: Content, Style, Organization, and Mechanics. Click on any term around the wheels to reveal a new page containing the definition of that term, instructions for proper use, and examples from the literary canon. Click on Mechanics from any of the three other wheels to review the rules and proper conventions of English grammar.

Essay Writing Guide is written to be concise and easy to use. The information students need is not buried within pages of irrelevant text or lost in a myriad of fruitless internet searches. By seeing the elements of writing displayed graphically, teachers and students are better able to visualize how those elements work together to develop style, coherence, and meaning. Each page is written in clear, effective prose with no fluff and no nonsense included. Educators can even project Essay Writing Guide in the classroom in order to reduce the need to write notes and examples on the board by hand.

Essay Writing Guide was developed by a college English professor with extensive secondary experience and is appropriate for all levels from secondary through graduate-level university academics. Essay Writing Guide has been featured in numerous print and online publications. Check us out on YouTube to see the app in action.

Pros and cons of Essay Writing Guide app for iPhone and iPad

Essay Writing Guide app good for

Absolutely worth the money. Will be a great support for every academic.
Gatsbys Light comes through again. These notes are a great aid both to students and teachers. Bravo!
I find this app very informative and well organized. The advices and lessons given there are not only good for essays but writing in general including blogging (in my case). I just wish it had much better interface and felt more native to iOS platform.

Some bad moments

Not worth the price when there is so much of this same exact info for free. Check any college OWL guide for specifics.
Absolutely amazing! What an articulate guide for students and others who may need help in writing an essay! Will definitely use for my sons who will be writing many papers!!
I like the concept, but wish I hadnt spent the money on an app written by someone who doesnt know the difference between to and too but is too lazy to double-check. Homonym fail.
Wast of money. Stupid info you can google all of this. Not worth 3$
I just recently went back to college and this app is perfect for helping me to study for the test. Thank you so much for this.
This app doesnt have anything worth a penny. All it does is give you definitions. Download a dictionary, its better!
