Abstract:

Transitions in Writing addresses the experiences of writers as they move
between contexts of writing and juggle new and different demands. Spelman
Miller and Stevenson bring together research by scholars in a range of
settings across the world who approach transition from different standpoints.
Transition is often conceived of as a change in setting, coinciding with
physical or temporal relocation, such as between stages of an educational or
professional career. However, writers also manage more local, micro-level
transitions as they move between genres, registers and rhetorical moves to
meet the demands of the task. The combination of both macro- and micro-level
perspectives on transition offers a novel, broad conception of the types of
change a writer encounters, and illustrates a range of methodological
approaches appropriate to exploring such transitions.
