APA Style: Basics

APA's  Academic Writer is a tool for writing papers in APA Style. It is designed to support the development of long-lasting writing skills. Developed by the creators of APA Style®, this powerful resource guides users who have questions about how to conduct research, structure their papers, and format what they write.

Academic Writer’s self-paced learning modules, reference building tools, and guided writing center support libraries and writing centers to facilitate academic success by training students to build a strong writing foundation. It contains an in-site word processor with pre-populated templates and a powerful citation tool for generating references in APA format. An account (free) is required to save your work.

Access to Academic Writer is provided by the Shapiro Library in our A-Z Database List.

Learners can create an account with their SNHU email, or use their existing SNHU APA account, to save their work.
