This book, designed for upper-division and graduate-level courses in technical and professional writing, explores in considerable depth and detail adult work-world writing problems in five major sectors of the economy, and offers specific strategies for curricular reforms that might help re-shape college-level writing courses and programs in the years to come.
Its authors, all of whom have more than 20 years of experience as both writing teachers and corporate consultants, suggest that adult professionals need writing courses and programs more specifically targeted to the special problems and processes they will encounter in their particular worlds of work.
