The Longman Professional Development Series for Composition grows out of Longman's deep commitment to the discipline and to the people who teach it. For many years, Longman has been a leader in publishing for the first-year composition classroom. We are proud to offer this series of useful resources for composition instructors, in addition to our distinguished list of handbooks, rhetorics, readers, and other textbooks. Covering a wide range of topics, the Longman Professional Development Series in Composition offers support for everyone from a seasoned writing program administrator to a brand-new teaching assistant, or even an undergraduate peer tutor.
