Writers: Craft & Context

Journal

WCC is an open-access interdisciplinary journal that publishes a wide array of material focused on writers: the work they do, the contexts in which they compose and circulate their work, how they are impacted by policies and pedagogies (broadly conceived) and how they develop across the lifespan.

We invite contributions from a range of academic fields, from community experts, and others who see, support, and do the work of writing.

We are eager to publish traditional and creative genres. We welcome work on writers that doesn’t fit neatly elsewhere.

The Composition, Literacy, and Culture series was established in 1989.

It publishes in composition and rhetoric, literacy, and culture; in the history of writing, reading, and instructional practice; the construction of literacy and letters; and the relations between language and gender, ethnicity, race, or class. The goal of the series is to bring together scholarship that crosses traditional boundaries.

Series editors, Stacey Waite and Aja Y. Martinez, welcome investigations that step outside the usual forms and outlines of academic inquiry.
