Writing as exploratory rather than formulaic

The Curious Writer, Brief Edition doesn’t read like a textbook nor a set of guidelines for composing essays. Instead, it encourages students to suspend judgment, ask questions, and seek answers. It covers genres beyond the academic essay with a “personality” lacking in similar resources. By acting on their own curiosities, readers develop the habits of mind to become critical thinkers and writers.

The 5th Edition reinforces the assumption that genres are malleable with a new chapter on repurposing or “re-genre-ing.” New projects include transforming a completed writing assignment into a multimedia project.
