The Everyday Writer

The best tool for practicing language awareness

The Everyday Writer, Eighth Edition, is an open invitation to develop awareness about the language we choose and use to write about topics we care about. It invites us to learn, practice, and examine the expectations of U.S. academic writing but it also honors the varieties of English we use and the experimenting we do to fit a range of writing situations. The new edition also includes new strategies for evaluating sources, new graphic organizers for writing arguments, new model writing, and an expanded definition of expertise for research writers.

Andrea Lunsford, with new contributing authors, offers a student-friendly companion that builds the skills, habits, and strategies college writers need to make decisions to make something happen in the world every day.
