This guide is meant to highlight some of the Fielding Library’s writing-related books and book chapters.

The resources in this guide are broken down into eight major categories: general resources; dissertation-related; grants, funding and proposals; publishing; business/marketing; psychology; education; and methodology-specific. Within each category, you will find a table with suggested resources, their format, any additional topics covered (since there will be overlap in some cases) and the Fielding database or URL which contains the resource itself. 46901683655700031350854250790060564249633100There are three formats—book, book chapter, and website—each identified with a distinctive icon: Book - Book Chapter - Website - Don’t forget to check out the three appendices at the end of the document which offer guidance and screenshots of locating these titles (and discovering others) within the Fielding Library.If you are having trouble deciphering the citation, be sure to check out our APA Research Guide here: is a living document; please feel free to send suggestions or feedback to us at any time: library@fielding.edu General Writing Resources:[back to table of contents]Resource CitationFormatAdditional Topics CoveredFielding Library Database or URLGilbert, N.
