Stephen Reid graduated from Grinnell College with a degree in physics and from the University of Kansas with a Ph.D. in English literature. He taught literature and composition in the English department at Colorado State University for 43 years. Over those years, he taught basic and first-year composition as well as composition history and theory, and his literature courses included Western American Literature and Alaskan Literature. He is the author of several composition textbooks, including ten editions of The Reid Guide for College Writers (formerly The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers) and a composition reader, Purpose and Process. As writing program administrator for over 20 years, he helped hundreds of graduate teaching assistants learn to become confident and proficient writing teachers.

Dominic DelliCarpini is the Naylor Endowed Professor of Writing Studies at York College of Pennsylvania. He holds a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and an M.A. and Ph.D. from the Pennsylvania State University. Currently, he is dean for York College's Center for Community Engagement and president of the National Council of Writing Program Administrators. He has also served on the Executive Board and as the national secretary for the Conference on College Composition and Communication. Before taking on his current role, he served York College for 5 years as chief academic officer, 13 years as writing program director, and 10 years as a secondary school teacher in Philadelphia. He continues to teach first-year and advanced composition courses, including technical writing, business writing, and rhetoric.

His numerous articles and presentations examine writing program administration, undergraduate research, faculty development, and the role of writing as a tool for civic engagement. He has also authored or edited four textbooks for first-year composition, and he has served as a consultant for writing programs around the United States. For his work within the community of York, he has received the York College Professional Service Award, the York County Economic Alliance's Spirit of York County Award for Community Engagement, and the 10,000 Friends of Pennsylvania Award. He serves on the Board of Trustees for the York County Community Foundation, the Cultural Alliance of York County, and the York Bar Foundation. He was recently appointed by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf to his commission on public service, PennSERVE.

DelliCarpini's collaboration with Stephen P. Reid of Colorado State University on The Reid Guide for College Writers (formerly The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers) began with the 10th Edition of this well-established text. It is a testament to Dr. Reid's work in developing this text that -- in each new iteration -- it continues to provide students with a rich rhetorical education and with the newest tools that writers need.
