Author Description

Andrea A. Lunsford's years of experience in the classroom and in the field have given her a unique understanding of how, what, where, and why today's students write. For her research for <i>The St. Martin's Handbook</i> -- ongoing for over two decades -- she has studied thousands of papers by composition students nationwide. Andrea Lunsford's trademark attention to rhetorical choice, language and style, and critical thinking and argument have always made <i>The St. Martin's Handbook</i> an accessible and thorough writing resource. Now informed by new research into student writing patterns and featuring expanded and more visual coverage of research, documentation, and writing in any discipline, <i>The St. Martin's Handbook</i> offers students more help than ever before with meeting the expectations of college work.
