Speaking of Writing by Allegra Goodman

Speaking of Writing by Allegra Goodman

Offers a graphic guide to college writing. Informed by recent and enduring scholarship in Writing Studies, this brief rhetoric follows four college students from diverse backgrounds as they face the challenges of reading, writing, and critical thinking in first-year writing and across the disciplines.

“A collaboration between a writing program director, a novelist, and a graphic artist, Speaking of Writing is unique in its ability both to engage students in first-year composition and to provide truly practical advice for multidisciplinary critical reading and writing situationsThis lively textbook starts with what the students bring to the reading and/or writing task, guides them through examples, from the literacy narrative to the multimodal researched composition, and provides a variety of activities throughout to practice key skills.” — Stacey Donohue, Central Oregon Community College

“Allegra Goodman and Michael Prince offer a fresh approach to the time-honored genre of the writing handbook. They have dispensed with musty clichés in favor of a conversational tone, and they use visuals that feel accessible and relatable. Illustrations representing a diverse array of students, each facing different writing challenges, feel almost like those of a graphic novel and are certain to engage today’s students.” — Natalie J. Friedman, Barnard College
