Writing Spaces: Readings on Writing Volume I

[arcadius]

Writing Spaces: Readings on Writing Volume I-Writing Spaces: Readings on Writing offer multiple perspectives on a wide-range of topics about writing, much like the model made famous by Wendy Bishop’s “The Subject Is . . .” series. 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 developing nearly every aspect of 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.

When we began discussing the possibility of a project like Writing
Spaces, almost two years ago, we immediately thought that we’d like
it to resemble Wendy Bishop’s unique series “The Subject Is . . .” in
approach, style, and tone. As we publish the first volume of Writing
Spaces, we pay tribute to Wendy’s work and to the influence she has
had on us. We were privileged to participate in “The Subject Is . . .”
series, one as a co-editor, the other-as a contributor. We remember
being intrigued by the possibility of essays, which spoke to students
and teachers alike, illuminating complex topics in an accessible manner. We also remember reading “The Subject Is . . .” books, assigning
them to our first-year writers, and hearing a somewhat-surprised “this
is pretty good for a textbook” reaction from them.
