Academic Writing Now: A Brief Guide for Busy Students is a rhetoric designed to cover the basics of a college writing course in a concise, student-friendly format. Each chapter concentrates on a crucial element of composing an academic essay and is capable of being read in a single sitting. The book is loaded with "timesaver tips," ideas for making the most of the student's time, along with occasional warnings to avoid common errors made by student writers.

Each short chapter concludes with questions and suggestions designed to trigger class discussion. David Starkey's rhetoric is also available in an edition with 23 thought-provoking readings that serve as models for analysis and discussion: Academic Writing Now - with Readings

The second edition has been updated throughout, with special attention to making the book even better suited to accelerated and co-requisite composition courses. MLA citation style has been updated to reflect 2021 changes, and a current APA citation guide is new to the second edition.

Industry Reviews

David Starkey delivers clear, ordered advice in a voice so familiar and colloquial that anyone's anxiety about this often rigid, academic subject will start to calm. He moves seamlessly between examples ranging from everyday experience to the highest levels of great writing, and what I like best is that underneath it all he encourages students to keep creativity and poetic insight alive even as they tackle the challenge of writing rigorous, scholarly papers." - Richard Guzman, North Central College
