"They Say / I Say teaches students the rhetorical moves found in persuasive writing across all disciplines.

The approach is practical and effective, and the language is engaging and jargon-free."--Publisher's website.

"The NB column in the Times Literary Supplement, signed at the foot by J.C., occupied the back page of the paper for thirteen years. For a decade before that, it was in the middle pages.
