Writing for College and Beyond kept its price low by minimizing in-text readings, which aren’t really necessary in a print textbook when such a large amount of material is freely available on the internet. However, to help save instructors time searching for relevant readings, Bright Futures Publishing has created this page to list supplemental readings for Writing for College and Beyond chapter by chapter. Contact us if you find any dead links or would like to recommend additional readings.
