LYNN QUITMAN TROYKA, Professor of Writing, at the City University of New York (CUNY), has taught at Queensborough Community College and in the graduate Language and Literacy program at City College. Former editor of the Journal of Basic Writing, her writing and research appears in major journals and various scholarly collections. She conducts workshops in the teaching of writing. Lynn is co-author of Quick Access Reference for Writers, Fifth Edition, Prentice Hall (2007), QA Compact, First Edition, Prentice Hall (2007), Canadian editions of her Simon & Schuster Handbook for Writers and Quick Access Reference for Writers, Structured Reading, Seventh Edition, Prentice Hall (2007), and Steps in Composition, Eighth Edition, Prentice Hall (2004). Dr. Troyka received the 2001 CCCC Exemplar Award, the highest CCCC award for scholarship, teaching, and service; the Rhetorician of the Year Award; and the TYCA Pickett Award for Service. She is a past chair of the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC); the Two-Year College Association (TYCA) of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE); the College Section of NCTE; and the Writing Division of the Modern Language Association. ”This information,” says Dr. Troyka, “tells what I’ve done, not who I am. I am a teacher. Teaching is my life’s work, and I love it.”
DOUG HESSE, Professor of English and Director of Writing at the University of Denver as of fall 2006, previously held several positions at Illinois State University, including Director of the Honors Program, Director of Writing Programs, and Director of the Center for the Advancement of Teaching. Dr. Hesse earned his Ph.D. from the University of Iowa. In addition to teaching at Illinois State, he’s also taught at the University of Findlay, Miami University (as Wiepking Distinguished Visiting Professor), and Michigan Tech. Dr. Hesse has had numerous national leadership roles in the teaching of writing. He is past Chair of the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC), the nation’s largest professional association of college writing instructors. A past president, as well, of the Council of Writing Program Administrators (WPA), Hesse edited that organization’s journal, Writing Program Administration. He is a member of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Executive Committee and the Modern Language Association (MLA) Division on Teaching as a Profession Executive Committee. He is the author of 45 articles and book chapters, in such journals as College Composition and Communication, College English, JAC, Rhetoric Review, the Journal of Teaching Writing, and others, and in such books as Essays on the Essay; Writing Theory and Critical Theory; The Writing Program Administrator’s Sourcebook; Literary Nonfiction; The Private, the Public, and the Published; Passions, Pedagogies, and 21st Century Technologies; and others. He is also co-author, with LynnTroyka, of the Quick Access Reference for Writers, Fifth Edition, Prentice Hall (2007) and Quick Access Compact, First Edition, Prentice Hall (2007). Illinois State University named him Outstanding University Researcher. “Of all these accomplishments,” says Dr. Hesse, “the one that matters most to me is being named Distinguished Humanities Teacher at Illinois State. That one came from my students and suggests that, in however small a way, I’ve mattered in their educations and lives.”
“This is the best of the brief handbooks available.”
Dr. Harryette Brown Dallas County Community College
“The strengths of this text are good language level and tone, nice examples of different
types of writing, logical fallacies, essay structure, etc...Strong section on argument, which can be
less than appealing to teach and read about. Your coverage is interesting and useful”
Lisa McRaven Ozarks Technical Community College
“The “Writing to Connect with the World” section reminds students that the need for good
writing continues afterschool...The greatest strength is the ease of use and narrative that
doesn’t “talk down” to students.”
Ruth Gerick University of Texas Arlington
“I think the handbook is one of the best on the market, which is why NHC adopted it. Strong
examples and in such an engaging format is what makes Quick Access a superior resource.”
Joyce Boatright North Harris College
“The acknowledgement of changes in the arena of writing to include more info about the web
and about writing that employs images–this is realistic and useful for today’s classes...I plan
to adopt.”
Diana Grumbles Southern Methodist University
“The coverage of plagiarism is, in my opinion, excellent.”
Joel B. Henderson Chattanooga State Technical Community College
“I think this is the best writing handbook on the market for clear, straightforward, and accurate
demonstration of the writing process. “
Ruth Gerick
University of Texas Arlington
“Quick Access seems to be much more detailed and could better stand alone [than my current
text]. It is very easy to use and takes good consideration of nonnative speaker populations.”
Kimberly Strain University of Minnesota
“The ESL Notes add helpful information, expanding the explanation for those who do not speak
English as their first language.”
Dorothy Minor Tulsa Community College
“The section on working in the disciplines would almost sell me this book on its own.”
Lisa McRaven Ozarks Technical Community College
“I think this text’s inclusion of the research checklist, numerous examples, and screen shots - assists in student understanding and sets this text apart from its competitors.”
Joel B. Henderson Chattanooga State Technical Community College
