The WAC Clearinghouse is pleased to provide access to digital books addressing writing and speaking across the curriculum. Please follow the links below to view individual books or book series.

Perspectives on Writing
Series Editor: Susan H. McLeod, University of California Santa Barbara

Genre in a Changing World, edited by Charles Bazerman, Adair Bonini, and Débora Figueiredo
Writing Selves/Writing Societies, edited by Charles Bazerman and David R. Russell

The Perspectives on Writing series addresses writing studies in a broad sense. Consistent with the wide ranging approaches characteristic of teaching and scholarship in writing across the curriculum, the series presents works that take divergent perspectives on working as a writer, teaching writing, administering writing programs, and studying writing in its various forms.

Reference Guides to Rhetoric and Composition
Series Editor: Charles Bazerman, University of California Santa Barbara

Argument in Composition, by John Ramage, Micheal Callaway, Jennifer Clary-Lemon, and Zachary Waggoner
Community Literacy and the Rhetoric of Local Publics, by Elenore Long
Writing Program Administration, by Susan H. McLeod
Revision: History, Theory, and Practice, edited by Alice Horning and Anne Becker
Reference Guide to Writing Across the Curriculum, by Charles Bazerman, Joseph Little, Lisa Bethel, Teri Chavkin, Danielle Fouquette, and Janet Garufis
Invention in Rhetoric and Composition, by Janice M. Lauer

The books in this series, edited by Charles Bazerman and published jointly with Parlor Press, provide compact, comprehensive and convenient surveys of what has been learned through research and practice as composition has emerged as an academic discipline over the last half century. Each volume is devoted to a single topic that has been of interest in rhetoric and composition in recent years, to synthesize and make available the sum and parts of what has been learned on that topic. These reference guides are designed to help deepen classroom practice by making available the collective wisdom of the field and will provide the basis for new research. The Series is intended to be of use to teachers at all levels of education, researchers and scholars of writing, graduate students learning about the field, and all who have interest in or responsibility for writing programs and the teaching of writing.

Writing Spaces: Readings on Writing
Series Editors: Charlie Lowe, Grand Valley State University, and Pavel Zemliansky, James Madison University

The books in this series, edited by Charlie Lowe and Pavel Zemliansky, and published jointly with Parlor Press, present peer-reviewed collections of essays--all composed by teachers for students--with each volume freely available for download under a Creative Commons license. The Writing Spaces' mission is to build a library of quality open access texts for the writing classroom as an alternative to costly textbooks. Each series collection will contain engaging essays from different writing teachers in the field and will explore important topics about writing in a manner and style accessible both to teachers and students. While the first volume will focus on instructional texts for first year composition, future editions may feature texts for writing in the disciplines and professional writing classrooms. Additionally, each collection will be supplemented by classroom activities and exercises which illustrate and implement the ideas discussed by the authors. The Call for Proposals is available at WritingSpaces.org.

RhetNet Books

In July 1997, RhetNet editor and founder Eric Crump wrote, "We use the word 'books' with some trepidation in these parts, but the texts included in association with that term exhibit decidedly bookish characteristics. They were, after all, written and edited as books and so were given book-shape. They appear here, however, and so begin to fuzz around the edges, acquiring a glimmer of online features, a hint of hypertext, and the possibility of reader/writer interaction. But we must portray them for what they primarily are: books. Mighty good books, IMNSHO. :)" We encourage you to view the books in this groundbreaking series.

Conversations: Computer-Mediated Dialogue, Multi-logue, and Learning, by Beth W. Baldwin
The Rhetorical Dimensions of Cyberspace, edited by Beth Baldwin and Tim Flood

The WAC Clearinghouse is pleased to direct its visitors to the Computers and Composition Digital Press Web site. This innovative press promises to remap our understanding of online publishing of book-length projects. The founders of the press write that they are "committed to publishing innovative, multimodal digital projects. The Press will also publish ebooks (print texts in electronic form available for reading online or for downloading); however, we are particularly interested in digital projects that cannot be printed on paper, but that have the same intellectual heft as a book."
