Welcome to the WAC Clearinghouse

Supporting Scholarly Exchange About Communication Across the Disciplines

Welcome to the WAC Clearinghouse. We are an open-access publishing collaborative that draws on the contributions of more than 200 scholars from six continents. Our members serve in editorial roles ranging from journal and book series editors and editorial staff members to peer-reviewers and editorial board members. We publish articles and books of interest to both the writing-across-the-curriculum community and the larger writing studies community. We support research on the use of writing to support learning and teaching. And we provide a wide range of web-based resources for instructors who wish to use writing in their courses.
