Editorial Statement

Rhetoric Today is a peer-reviewed newsletter that publishes a broad spectrum of research to promote “writing as process.”  As an interdisciplinary publication, we seek to engage a sustained dialogue and interactivities among the disciplines.  We invite for submission articles, audio/visuals and images that take a fresh look at writing, research, and pedagogy.  We aim to publish scholarship to serve as a forum for faculty who engage their students in a variety of writing activities.  The newsletter is also concerned with multiple perspectives on writing and will serve as a resource for those interested in writing processes and knowledge of written and oral communication.

Rhetoric Today seeks to publish articles and book reviews about writing from multiple disciplines:

  • Communication Studies
