Reviews for Public and Professional Writing
'Surma's broad definition of professional writing (which includes many forms of public writing) and the three-part rubric that she uses to frame her analysis of professional writing practices, are key strengths of this book, along with her approach to ethics and communication and her international perspective.' - Jim Porter, Director of Rhetoric and Writing, Michigan State University
