    Description

    Volumes in Writing Spaces: Readings on Writing offer multiple perspectives on a wide range of topics about writing. In each chapter, authors present their unique views, insights, and strategies for writing by addressing the undergraduate reader directly. Drawing on their own experiences, these teachers-as-writers invite students to join in the larger conversation about the craft of writing. Consequently, each essay functions as a standalone text that can easily complement other selected readings in writing or writing-intensive courses across the disciplines at any level.

    Volume 6 continues the tradition of previous volumes with diverse topics in technical and communication such as addressing diverse audiences, assessing sources, composing common and emerging genres, constructing visual arguments, creating and delivering presentations, working with social media and other online spaces, considering the user experience, working with a wide range of media, and more

Lanier, Candice Lanius, Birgitta Meex, Cathryn Molloy, Therese I. Pennell, Tammy Rice-Bailey, Daniel P. Richards, Emma J. Rose, Joanna Schreiber, Darina M. Slattery, Ryan Weber, Candice A.
