Although this textbook is based on the excellent work of Scott McLean, in the original open-educational-resource textbook Writing for Success, and Tara Horkoff, in the first Canadian version, this book has ultimately been shaped by and for the needs of thousands of Athabasca University’s visiting and program students over the years. We are immensely grateful for the significant contributions from AU tutors Stuart Edgar and Sharren Patterson, in Chapters 17 and 18, respectively. Thanks are due to Rob Wiznura for his overall vision and contributions to Chapter 18. We are also grateful to many other past and current English 255 tutors for their advice and knowledge and to Sarah-Jean Watt and her colleagues at the Write Site for their insights. Finally, this project would not have happened without the support of AU Press—particularly Megan Hall, Kathy Killoh, and Karyn Wisselink—Athabasca University’s Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and Dean Manijeh Mannani.
