Getting Personal by Laura Gray-Rosendale
is about finding ways to teach and use personal writing in the digital age that can truly empower writing teachers, writing students, as well as other community members."…a robust and timely collection on the state of personal writing in our highly digital contemporary cultureThis is a helpful volume for teachers seeking to understand and implement personal writing in new ways in their classes. Getting Personal is also helpful for thinking about what comes next in personal writing, a notoriously flexible and inclusive genre." — Biography
"Getting Personal offers an engaging, comprehensive view of how and why instructors, in both creative and academic writing, can integrate contemporary writing and communication practices into their classrooms, assignments, and curricula." — Jill Talbot, editor of Metawritings: Toward a Theory of Nonfiction
"I am right now rethinking some of my assumptions about what it means to do and to teach personal writing—especially in digital environments. I'm also taken with the fact that while the chapters are clearly academic, they are also personal, and while several of them explicitly call the 'false binary between the personal and the academic' into question, my sense is that they themselves do so implicitly as well." — Barry M. Maid, coauthor of The McGraw-Hill Guide: Writing for College, Writing for Life, Fourth Edition
