Paradigm Online Writing Assistant

http://www.powa.org/

One of the questions that pops up from instructors at almost every workshop is 'Where are there good writing Websites?' and my answer is, ' I'll keep looking...' This one may give some hope that there are sites available. I called the Paradigm Online Writing Assistant, and has help with organizing, writing and editing, along with some specifics on various essay styles. One of the best sections is entitled "Six Problem Areas" which covers topics such as subject-verb agreement, shift in tense, shift in person etc. Each topic is explained, examples are given and there is an accompanying activity. If you are looking for some solid help with writing, this may just be the source.
