Reviews

"I applaud Spilka for encouraging teachers, students, researchers, and theorists to crisscross the borders between academic and nonacademic writing."--Journal of Advanced Composition

"Spilka has generated a successful collection of essays and has done an admirable job in achieving her stated goal: to ask helpful questions that will provide direction to researchers and contribute to the discipline's continued growth. This collection's impact will be felt for many years to come."-- Technical Communication Quarterly

Beneficial to workplace writers as well as academicians, Writing in the Workplace: New Research Perspectives helps establish a framework for the unification of theory and practice in technical communication research. In fact, it is the linking of theory and practice that makes it an important book for the continuing evolution of our discipline."--Journal of Business and Technical Communication
