The second edition of College Writing is based on the premise that writing is a varied and imaginative process, not a rigid adherence to a set of conventions. Like the original text, it continually exhorts students to find and celebrate their own voice. Indeed, it is this affirmation of individual creativity that sets College Writing apart from other process-oriented rhetorics. Among the book's new features are an up-to-date electronic reference section, expanded discussions on research writing strategies, new presentations on argumentative and interpretive writing, and a review of creative revision techniques.

This book provides an alternative to the more conventional modes of qualitative and quantitative inquiry currently used in professional training programs, particularly in education. It features a very accessible presentation that combines application, rationale, critique, and inspiration—and is itself an example of this kind of writing. It teaches students how to use personal writing in order to analyze, explicate, and advance their ideas. And it encourages minority students, women, and others to find and express their authentic voices by teaching them to use their own lives as primary resources for their scholarship.
