This version of The Curious Writer has been updated to reflect the 8th Edition of the MLA Handbook (April 2016)* Puts inquiry at the heart of good writing We write to learn as much as we do to express what we already know.

Instead, it encourages students to suspend judgment, to ask questions, and to seek answers much like academics do. Yet it covers a wide range of genres beyond the academic essay--narrative, profile, review, ethnography, argument, and more--all with a distinctive approach and "personality" that is lacking in other texts. It also reinforces the assumption that genres are malleable with a new chapter on repurposing or "re-genre-ing." Students love that this book helps them learn to write by pursuing their own curiosity. Teachers appreciate that Ballenger gives students ample opportunity to develop the habits of mind necessary to become critical thinkers and curious writers. * The 8th Edition introduces sweeping changes to the philosophy and details of MLA works cited entries.
