review

Computers and Composition Online has published a very positive review of the first volume of Writing Spaces.

Quote:

"Writing Spaces: Readings on Writing
(volume 1) creates a new
category of first year composition textbooks.  Editors Charles Lowe and
Pavel Zemliansky offer a set of essays written by composition scholars
for an audience of first year writers.  The editors characterize this
unique writer-reader relationship: by “drawing
on their own experiences, these teachers-as-writers invite students
join in the conversation about developing nearly every aspect of the
craft of writing” (ii). In these essays, writers speak directly to
students in their capacity as agents of their own writing
development."
