The author paints portraits of the pandemic experience that writing teachers and their students will relate to and offers practical learning material that can be used in writing courses.

An original compilation of material on this theme,Writing the Pandemicincludes reflections by a highly experienced writing instructor and his students together with ready-to-use assignments. It is written in a lively style by the author ofEnglish Composition Teacher's Guidebook, Tom Mulder, an award-winning instructor who teaches at Grand Rapids Community College in Michigan.

With each chapter, the author offers selected notes blogged at intervals during critical incidents in the unfolding coronavirus as well as individual students' stories along with their photographs, both inside composition classrooms adapted for distanced learning and writing or working from home. He also presents questions for reflection and his own speculations about the future that are sure to stimulate readers' own thoughts about what has changed, and how much, as a result of the pandemic, and about what writing instruction will look like going forward.
