Built for the new world of college writing, with research and writer’s purpose at the core
Today’s writing – and writing instruction – have changed well beyond digital and visual delivery of texts; dramatic changes also are found in all stages of the writing process. Revel The Reid Guide for College Writers, 12th Edition, is built for the new world of college writing, where students are not only writers but also designers.

While continuing its emphasis on finding and using authoritative materials, the 12th Edition also encourages students to become active researchers as they move from observing and investigating through more traditional academic research. The authors help students to see the full spectrum of primary and secondary research, including the array of technologies that can help them find, evaluate, reflect on, and synthesize their research into well-formed arguments.

This revision continues to foster rhetorical awareness and asks students to consider purpose, audience, and genre every time they write. Its rhetorical emphasis, practical step-by-step approach, and consistent structure make this guide a highly teachable favorite.

Revel™ is Pearson’s newest way of delivering our respected content. Fully digital and highly engaging, Revel replaces the textbook and gives students everything they need for the course. Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, Revel is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience — for less than the cost of a traditional textbook.

Stephen Reid graduated from Grinnell College with a degree in physics and from the University of Kansas with a Ph.D. in English literature. He taught literature and composition in the English department at Colorado State University for 43 years. Over those years, he taught basic and first-year composition as well as composition history and theory, and his literature courses included Western American Literature and Alaskan Literature. He is the author of several composition textbooks, including ten editions of The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers and a composition reader, Purpose and Process . As writing program administrator for over 20 years, he helped hundreds of graduate teaching assistants learn to become confident and proficient writing teachers.

Dominic DelliCarpini is the Naylor Endowed Professor of Writing Studies at York College of Pennsylvania. He holds a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and an M.A. and Ph.D. from the Pennsylvania State University. Currently, he is dean for York College’s Center for Community Engagement and president of the National Council of Writing Program Administrators. He has also served on the Executive Board and as the national secretary for the Conference on College Composition and Communication. Before taking on his current role, he served York College for 5 years as chief academic officer, 13 years as writing program director, and 10 years as a secondary school teacher in Philadelphia. He continues to teach first-year and advanced composition courses, including technical writing, business writing, and rhetoric. 

His numerous articles and presentations examine writing program administration, undergraduate research, faculty development, and the role of writing as a tool for civic engagement. He has also authored or edited four textbooks for first-year composition, and he has served as a consultant for writing programs around the United States. For his work within the community of York, he has received the York College Professional Service Award, the York County Economic Alliance’s Spirit of York County Award for Community Engagement, and the 10,000 Friends of Pennsylvania Award. He serves on the Board of Trustees for the York County Community Foundation, the Cultural Alliance of York County, and the York Bar Foundation. He was recently appointed by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf to his commission on public service, PennSERVE.

DelliCarpini’s collaboration with Stephen P. Reid of Colorado State University on The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers  began with the 10th Edition of this well-established text. It is a testament to Dr. Reid’s work in developing this text that — in each new iteration — it continues to provide students with a rich rhetorical education and with the newest tools that writers need.
