�e Seven Deadly Virtues and Other Lively EssaysComing of Age as a Writer, Teacher, Risk TakerLynn Z. Bloom“A fascinating book by a dedicated master teacher who practices what she preaches, by pu�ing herself on the line and her life vividly on the page, this sophisticated, self-re�exive take on autobiographical writing should clarify and illuminate many of the dark corners of creative non�ction.”—Phillip Lopate224 pp., 15 illus., cloth, 978-1-57003-730-6, $29.95

Edinburgh Days, or Doing What I Want to DoSam Pickering“No one else writes the contemporary personal essay quite like Pickering. Built around a loose chronology of a semester spent living and working in Edinburgh, these pieces form a cohesive whole that is by turns evocatively descriptive, poignantly moving, deeply confessional, and richly comic-as only a learned and experienced wit can be. Pickering has given us a �ne contribution to American le�ers and, indeed, a celebration of good reading and good writing.” —George Garre�216 pp., cloth, 978-1-57003-691-0, $29.95

Solve for XEssaysArthur Saltzman“In this collection, we see Saltzman the juggler, tossing about literary and pop culture allusions while never losing his sharp focus or keen balance in literary acts that are equal parts spellbinding improvisation and well-practiced genius.”—Michael Pearson248 pp., cloth, 978-1-57003-707-8, $29.95

W�� P�� A�� Series Editors Susan H. McLeod, University of California, Santa Barbara Margot Soven, La Salle University

In the past few decades writing program administration has emerged as a field of inquiry, a field with its own national organization, journal, and con-ference. �e Writing Program Administration series provides a venue for scholarly monographs and projects that are research or theory-based and that provide insights into important issues in the field. We encourage sub-missions that examine the work of writing program administration, broadly defined (e.g., not just administration of first-year composition programs).

Possible topics include but are not limited to:

Historical studies of writing program administration or administrators (archival work is particularly encouraged) Studies evaluating the relevance of theories developed in other fields (e.g., management, sustainability, organizational theory) Studies of particular personnel issues (e.g., unionization, use of adjunct faculty) Research on developing and articulating curricula Studies of assessment and accountability issues for WPAs Examinations of the politics of writing program administration WPA work at the community college

Queries should be directed to: Susan H. McLeod Margot [email protected] [email protected]

We see the opportunities that new technologies have for democratizing knowledge.
