About the Book

EasyWriter gives your students friendly, reliable writing help in formats that are easy to use and easy to afford.

Those who want to follow the rules of academic writing and those who want to experiment; those who learn in typical ways and those who learn in divergent ways; those who choose to use AI and those who opt not to use it; those who come to college knowing critical reading strategies and those who come needing them – all will learn with EasyWriter. In the Ninth Edition, inspiring new guidance on AI literacy, critical reading, and language awareness is paired with powerful digital tools in Achieve.
