Introduction
The authors for the first edition of this book for the most part were the Spring 2007 graduate students in Theory of Basic Writing at Missouri State University. Beginning this spring (2009), a new group of Missouri State graduate students will be revisiting and adding to this text, making it Basic Writing version 2.0. Others are welcome to contribute to the project or to suggest areas overlooked. Future classes in Theory of Basic Writing and current or future ENG 100 instructors will continue the project. This is still open to anyone interested in Basic Writing.
