Beyond the Blank Pages presents vital English composition skills while promoting student advocacy.

More than a typical English Composition textbook, Beyond the Blank Pages incorporates groundbreaking assignment prompts and discussion topics related directly to student experience to promote self-actualization and ultimately to build confidence.

Written in a conversational style, Beyond the Blank Pages frames much of the content around narrative and personal experience that offers teachers and students open areas of discussion to include personal, societal, professional, and academic goals.

Written in a flexible format suitable for any English Composition course, Beyond the Blank Pages:

Encourages readers to become agents of their life while writing about it.
Fuses conventional reading suggestions with current, experimental, and relevant suggestions that include films, journalistic articles and profiles, personal narratives, lyric essays, confessional writing, song lyrics, and more.
Demystifies academic and English department pedagogy by encouraging readings, topics, and arguments that question dominant ideologies about course outcomes and assessment, student engagement, and what actually demonstrates knowledge and ability.
Equips students with the citation, research, grammar, persuasion, letter writing, and professional writing skills necessary for future courses and the workplace.
