Everyone's An Author with Readings
“Everyone’s an Authoris about writing as it really is today—writing with words and images and sounds, writing for print and cyberspace, writing for all the venues where it’s happening right now. Right off the bat, that makes it different from the majority of rhetorics out there.” (Clyde Moneyhun, Boise State University)“I really like the way the authors frame social media as productive tools, rather than as barriers that get in the way of good student writing.” (Casie Fedukovich, North Carolina State University)“I like the way this book grapples with the public turn in writing without sacrificing coverage of the academic genres that we want students to know and to use…. It will appeal immensely to 21st century students, and I suspect it’s going to make me a better writing teacher as well.” (Alison Russell, Xavier University)“Everyone’s an Authorremains faithful to a rhetorically informed approach to writing instruction, and, as its title suggests, it understands that both rhetoric and writing are undergoing profound changes as a result of new technologies. Because it is sharply attuned to such changes, it offers writing teachers new ways to think about old concerns—audience and genre, argument and style, research and rhetoric.” (Frank Farmer, University of Kansas)“The level of guidance is spot on for students, and I’m especially impressed by the attention to writing across academic fields, across cultures and communities, across media, and across genres. This book encourages rhetorical savvy.” (Rolf Norgaard, University of Colorado)“Everyone’s an Authoris a fresh, original, and innovative writing textbook that sets a new standard in the field. Students and instructors alike will love its contemporary, multimodal approach.” (Gary A. Olson, Idaho State University)
