《成功写作入门》于1979年首次出版，已再版十次，盛销不衰。本书内容丰富，与写作相关的概念和步骤，都佐以具体事例进行清晰明了的讲解。作者熟悉和了解当代大学生，以其为背景的素材，信手拈来。作者引导读者循序渐进地进行学习和练习英语写作。书中大量的学生习作和专家范文相得益彰。每章后的练习和作业都与正文内容相匹配，帮助教师及时检查学生是否掌握了所学内容。　　传统的大学写作课程、教材或写作手册往往枯燥、生硬、充满了条条框框，令学生望而生畏，本书作者则文笔流畅，语调风趣、幽默，循循善诱，对所讲内容深入浅出，娓娓道来，引人入胜。此外，本书版面设计新颖，精选的图片有助于学生放松心情，活跃思维，激发他们写作的愿望与创作的激情。
