Product Description
Lifewriting is people-centered nonfiction writing. Not just autobiographical or biographical, lifewriting encompasses a broad range of personal-experience narratives. Lifewriting can be serious or humorous or both. It can include any kind of subject matter because people are always at the heart of any endeavor. Fred D. White Ph.D., author of four textbooks on writing, walks the reader through the process from research to composition to revision to marketing.
About the Author
Fred D. White received his Ph.D. in English from the University of Iowa. Since 1980 has been teaching writing at Santa Clara University, where he is currently Director of the Core Composition Program. In 1997 he received the Louis and Dorina Brutocao Award for Teaching Excellence. In addition to having published numerous essays, scholarly articles, and book reviews, he is the author of four textbooks on writing, most recently The Well-Crafted Argument (Houghton Mifflin Co.), co-authored with Simone Billings, and soon to appear in a second edition.
