The Norton Field Guide to Writing: MLA 2021 and APA 2020 Update

The best-selling, most flexible rhetoric―now with advice for reading and writing across disciplines

The Norton Field Guide lets you teach the way you want to teach. Short chapters with just enough detail can be assigned in any order. Color-coded links send students to more detail if they need it. Menus, directories, and a glossary/index all make the book easy to navigate. This flexibility makes it work for first-year writing, stretch, ALP, co-req, dual-enrollment, and integrated reading-writing courses.

The Norton Field Guide MLA and APA Update Edition features the latest documentation guidelines from the ninth edition of the MLA Handbook (2021) and the seventh edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (2020).
