Ernest Hemingway.

Text book

Everyone's an Author by Andrea Lunsford; Michal Brody; Lisa Ede; Beverly Moss; Carole Clark Papper; Keith Walters
ISBN: 9780393885682
Publication Date: 2021-07-15
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. Because students are also reading more than ever, the third edition includes new advice for reading critically, engaging respectfully with others, and distinguishing facts from misinformation.Everyone's an Author, MLA Update Edition features the latest documentation guidelines from the ninth edition of the MLA Handbook (2021). Also available in a version with readings.
