Overview

This rhetorically-driven, genre-based handbook prepares college writers to write in different ways for different courses, professional contexts, and civic and everyday scenarios. Using a framework of writing as conversation, In Conversation grounds writers in a deep understanding of their purpose, audience, and context. It gives novice writers the versatility and confidence to succeed and helps them to enter conversations, plan documents, cite sources, check facts, and understand language conventions. Paired with Achieve, an engaging and powerful digital platform (see Related Titles for more details), In Conversation is a practical tool for shaping and sharpening a writers’ instincts.
