It addresses students as writers, challenging them to develop their skills by writing often, by exploring their writing processes, and by sharing their writing with others. The flexible workshops allow an instructor to organize and orient their course individually, and the book integrates readings - both student and professional - throughout. It also contains more than 100 writing assignments.
