Everyones an Author

by Andrea A. Lunsford, Michal Brody (Contributor), Lisa S. Ede (Contributor)

"Students today are writing more than ever. Everyone's an Author bridges the gap between the writing students already do - online, at home, in their communities - and the writing they'll do in college and beyond. It builds student confidence by showing that they already know how to think rhetorically and offers advice for applying those skills as students, professionals, and citizens.

This started as a book for my English 2 class and it turned into a wonderful piece of literature, rather yet, a compilation of wonderfully written blogs, short stories, and much more.

Boring but educational!

[Rhonda Browning · Rating 4 out of 5]

Taught from this text in both ENC 1101 and ENC 1102 courses this past semester. Many of it's essays allow for good classroom discussion, and there's fine writing advice throughout. I appreciate how there are chapters devoted to APA and MLA style, complete with many examples.

I'd use it again for class instruction.

Chapter 29 of Everyone's and Author makes it easier to understand the different styles of writing by comparing it to everyday situations like fashion. It explains the difference between appropriateness and correctness of a topic. Also, this chapter explains how to write or speak more or less intellectually depending on the audience

Will definitely use in the fall with Comp I students. Loved the inclusion of technology and all of the mentor texts.
