The UNC’s Writing Center website has many useful and easy-to-read handouts that help with the writing process. You can find information there on the following topics (among others):

- Thesis Statements
- Paragraph Development
- Transitions
- Quotations
- Revising Drafts
- Editing and Proofreading
- Plagiarism

You should also check out Purdue’s Online Writing Lab (OWL), which is an excellent resource for writers. In particular, its MLA Style Center will be useful, especially for in-text citations and Works Cited.
Writing Commons is also a wonderful open-access resource for all types of writing.
