Open Words

The inaugural issue of Open Words is now available online and in print. Hat tip to the new journal's editors, John Tassoni and Bill Thelin, for the vision and also the tenacity to get the publication up and running. Open Words will focus on issues of literacy, social class, and educational access, attending to the teaching of writing in open-access environments. Kind of a Journal of Basic Writing or TETYC with closer attention to critical theories. This looks to be an interesting venue for scholarship. Information on submissions available on the website above, as is contact info. for John and Bill. While you're checking out the site, take a look at the last article, by yours truly, "Why Basic Writing Professionals on Regional Campuses Need to Know Their Histories."
