Information about Volume 5
Volumes in Writing Spaces: Readings on Writing offer multiple perspectives on a wide range of topics about writing. In each chapter, authors present their unique views, insights, and strategies for writing by addressing the undergraduate reader directly. Drawing on their own experiences, these teachers-as-writers invite students to join in the larger conversation about the craft of writing. Consequently, each essay functions as a standalone text that can easily complement other selected readings in writing or writing-intensive courses across the disciplines at any level. Volume 5 continues in this tradition while updating and adding to previous volumes on topics such as advanced rhetoric, translanguaging and code-meshing practices, revision workflows, environmental justice, social annotation, Wikipedia, plagiarism, accessibility, data analysis, writing knowledge transfer, and more.
Contributors include David Blakesley, Rachel Buck, Ellen Cecil-Lemkin, Amy Cicchino, Kristin DeMint Bailey, Zack DePiero, Danielle DeRise, Kefaya Diab, Ryan Dippre, Sydney Doyle, William Duffy, Tamara Gluck, An Ha, L. Lennie Irvin, Erin E. Kelly, Angela M. Laflen, Glenn Lester, Taylor Lucas, Jason McIntosh, Benjamin Miller, Oksana Moroz, Anthony J. Outlar, Alison Overcash, Mattius Rischard, Michelle Sprouse, Christopher Thaiss, Lisa Tremain, Silvia Vaccino-Salvadore, Crystal VanKooten, Matthew Vetter, Stephanie Wade, and Jennifer Wells.

Activities & Assignments Archive
We are also pleased to announce that we have published 22 new contributions to our Activities & Assignments Archive (AAA) since our last volume. AAA Co-editors Matt and Xiao conducted a focus group interview with recent contributors over the summer, and have gotten some great feedback on improving and extending that collection.
