Writing for College and Beyond: Life Lessons from the College Composition Classroom explains how the many skills taught in the Freshman Composition course apply at work and in life.

Pressezitat
"Kent's book is a must-read for any student, or graduate for that matter, looking to better understand why excellent writing begets excellent possibilities. The connections she draws between the fundamentals of writing and various industries are all too relatable as someone who majored in fiction writing and now works in advertising. I only wish I'd read this book earlier into my career. We have all been waiting for someone to write with clarity and gusto about the impact of school writing on future opportunities ...Well voila! Our prayers have finally been answered."-Kristen Berke, Senior Manager, Entertainment, LA Times
