Overview
The Curious Writer doesn't read like a textbook or a set of guidelines for composing essays. Instead, it encourages you to suspend judgment, ask questions and seek answers. Essentially, it provides you with the tools you'll need to think like an academic writer. Covering genres beyond the academic essay, the text strives to engage you with a "personality" lacking in similar resources. Encouraged to act on your own curiosities, you'll develop the habits necessary to become a critical thinker and a skilled writer.
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 with guidance on scripting a podcast, a video PSA and more.

Yes, the Study & Exam Prep Pack's feature is Channels, which can be purchased separately at any time. Simply go to Channels on the Pearson+ site and choose monthly, quarterly, or annual access, separate from your eTextbook subscription. Still deciding? Watch the first six videos free and buy it if you love it (we know you'll love it!).
Currently, they are the exact same offering. 'Study & Exam Prep Pack' is what we call 'Channels' when it is bundled with an eTextbook or bundled with MyLab & Mastering courseware. When purchased on its own, you will see it called Channels, still the same study & exam prep help you need.
