The Writer's Practice
The Writer's Practice: Building Confidence in Your Nonfiction Writing | John Warner
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
For anyone aiming to improve their skill as a writer, a revolutionary new approach to establishing robust writing practices inside and outside the classroom After more than two decades teaching college-level writing following the most established and well-regarded practices, writer, editor, and educator John Warner knew we could do better. Drawing on his classroom experience and the most persuasive research in contemporary composition studies, he devised an innovative new framework: a step-by-step method that moves the student through a series of writing problems, an organic, bottom-up writing process that exposes and acculturates them to the ways writers work in the world. The time is right for this new and groundbreaking approach. The most popular books on composition take a formalistic view, utilizing "templates" in order to mimic the sorts of rhetorical moves academics make. While this is a valuable element of a writing education, there is room for something that speaks more broadly. The Writer's Practice invites students and novice writers into an intellectually engaging, active learning process that prepares them for a wider range of academic and real-world writing and allows them to become invested and engaged in their own work.

A week late in posting this since it‘s from last Sunday‘s print edition, but my book nerdery made it to the pages of the Chicago Tribune! I follow the author of the tagged on Twitter (mostly for higher ed content) and responded to his offer to send the last five books I read for a recommendation. Didn't realize he had a Tribune column! 😂 So this was a fun bonus. Plus the book he recommended was already on my (mental) TBR, so I think he nailed it.

vivastory This is very cool! 3y
MallenNC How fun! 3y
EvieBee Cool! Your last 5 were an eclectic assortment as well. 3y
Christine @vivastory @MallenNC It did bring me joy. 😄 3y
Christine @EvieBee They were! I think that‘s true for so many of us here on Litsy, right? I‘m going to keep reading John Warner‘s column bc there is something uniquely cool about seeing just the last five books listed like that as a snapshot of someone‘s reading. 3y
