Open your handbook--and open your mind.
The Everyday Writer, Seventh Edition, invites you to think through the choices you have in any writing situation--in other words, it invites you to think rhetorically. A book for our times, it will also help you communicate ethically, listen respectfully, experiment with language, and adopt openness as a habit of mind. Plenty of student models help you with different kinds of writing, and Lunsford's Top Twenty serves as a guide for building your confidence as editor of your own work. An easy-to-use practical guide to the power of writers' language and the power of writers' choices, The Everyday Writer is your tool for making something happen in the classroom--and in the world.
