What began as a Composition FAQ to address difficulties that many new college writers have with mechanics, style, content, and structure has metamorphosed into a no-cost, online textbook for first- and second-year college students that takes the idea that better readers make better writers as its guiding premise.

The book is divided into sections that address the various stages of early college composition: ENGL 1101 introduces students to the fundamentals of college writing; ENGL 1102 acts as an introduction to literature; “Lit Survey” develops more advanced writing skills for sophomore humanities courses; and “WritDM” teaches the composition skills for writing in digital platforms. Each of these sections of the book will use the CompFAQ as its content.
