StudentsIt often takes just a little bit of guidance in order to put together a great paper, and I have found after years of teaching that writing is much easier when you have examples of other students work. Descriptions and excerpts from our books are on each individual book page, and there are a number of videos all over the website to help you too. This page is primarily dedicated to providing you with edited college student papers at every grade level, so that you can improve your own writing. Scroll down to check them out! We're dedicated to helping you solve your APA style problems!

Why my books are better than other (vastly inferior) books on APA style
1. Examples from actual student papers
I don’t just provide examples from “perfect” papers, but cover the common mistakes that students make at all grade levels. The books incorporate literally hundreds of examples of student writing, so that you can see actual student papers and the mistakes they make
2. Understanding APA style
Reading the APA Publication Manual is like reading a housing contract. It’s boring, technical, and full of information you will never use, like how to reference a patent. My books condense the Publication Manual down to what you need to know and why you need to know it
3. Annotated papers at all grade levels
Where other books provide one “perfect” paper (more or less), I provide that too, plus B, C, D, and F papers so you can recognize the common problems that students make and avoid them in your own writing
4. Videos, videos, videos!
I provide you with videos that tie in with my books in order to help you to be confident in your APA style writing. There are over a dozen videos on writing, and more are added all the time!
5. Reviews from students and faculty
Don't take my word for it, check out the reviews on Amazon! These books are highly regarded by the students who are using them. They’re helpful, clear, and leading to better student papers
6. Cost
Print copies of APA Simplified cost $9.95, APA Basics is $14.95, and APA Style Disasters is $19.95. The Kindle versions cost even less. Are there cheaper books on APA style? Nope. Are they as comprehensive? Nope. Do they have tons of supplemental materials? Nope
APA style papers, graded and edited by me and my TAs
Here is a selection of student papers at all grade levels, and on different topics, which have been graded and edited by me and my teaching assistants. Click on the topic button and you'll be taken to an online copy of the paper. That's the good part. Here's the bad part. The papers are all 6th edition APA style, and we're currently using the 7th edition. When I get more of a selection of 7th edition papers, I'll add those. The other "bad" thing is that all of the papers have been put through SafeAssign (on Blackboard) and so if you copy them, you'll get flagged for plagiarizing. So enjoy these papers, but use them wisely!
