Writing for College and Beyond: Life Lessons from the College Composition Classroom explains how the many skills taught in the Freshman Composition course apply at work and in life. The composition class is a pre-requisite and General Education course for most colleges and universities in the United States. It reaches students in every area of study. As people wonder about the value of a liberal arts education and question whether colleges and universities are truly preparing students for the workforce, Writing for College and Beyond challenges those arguments by pointing out exactly how classroom policies and writing assignments apply beyond school walls. Professors, lecturers, and graduate students teaching Freshman Composition courses will find this book helpful. Administrators who service the Freshman Composition population, such as Writing Center Directors, will also find Writing for College and Beyond: Life Lessons from the College Composition Classroom a wonderful aid.

“This book is broken into well thought-out sections that reconceptualize the writing classroom, giving it a direct relationship to the world beyond. Its tone is clear and approachable, and the writing lessons are well-grounded in real examples, ever-mindful of the conventions of professional documents and professional environments. Each chapter helps students draw connections between their writing tasks and their future, professional selves. Research about literacy and employment in the United States frames these chapters on writing in order to present a compelling case for the importance of effective communication, not only in the classroom, but in the workplace, beyond, as the title indicates.”—J. C. Lee, Assistant Professor and Composition Coordinator, Department of English, California State University, Northridge
