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 6th Edition features 2 new coauthors and brings genre and reflection to center stage. The text also includes a series of new readings on climate change, which demonstrates writing approaches by genre.
