WAC Clearinghouse
Writing Across the Curriculum Clearinghouse, operated through Colorado State University, offers free downloads of many books on writing pedagogy. Some of the titles are listed in the selections on this page, but you may want to browse to find others that interest you.
The following are monographs of interest to communication instructors. A few of these books are old enough to be out of print, but they’re worthwhile hunting down. Some links are to electronic copies and others are to a table of contents or synopsis of the content. Subtitles are included where omission would leave too much ambiguity.
