Following on from Writers at Work: The Paragraph and Writers at Work: the Short Composition, Writers at Work: The Essay will teach the basics of academic essay writing to intermediate-level students. In Writers at Work: The Essay, college and university students use the process approach to write different genres of essays common at the post-secondary level, the most important being expository writing, persuasive writing, and timed essay exams. Each chapter uses the same five-step approach to writing that is used in the two lower-level books. In each chapter, students analyze a model essay, noticing key organizational and linguistic features; brainstorm ideas; write multiple drafts; revise their work; engage in peer reviews; and share their finished work. Chapters recycle and build upon previously taught material.

“Black women writers and critics are acting on the old adage that one must speak for oneself if one wishes to be heard.” —Claudia Tate, from the introduction Long out-of-print, Black Women Writers At Work is a vital contribution to Black literature in the 20th century. Through candid interviews with Maya Angelou, Toni Cade Bambara, Gwendolyn Brooks. Alexis Deveaux, Nikki Giovanni, Kristin Hunter, Gayl Jones, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, Tillie Olson, Sonia Sanchez, Ntozake Shange, Alice Walker, Margret Walker, and Shirley Anne Williams, the book highlights the practices and critical linkages between the work and lived experiences of Black women writers whose work laid the foundation for many who have come after. Responding to questions about why and for whom they write, and how they perceive their responsibility to their work, to others, and to society, the featured playwrights, poets, novelists, and essayists provide a window into the connections between their lives and their art. Finally available for a new generation, this classic work has an urgent message for readers and writers today.

In this collection of interviews taken from The Paris Review, sixteen of the world's great women writers speak about their work, their colleagues and their lives. Women Writers at Work revisits classic interviews with Rebecca West and Simone de Beauvoir along with exchanges with Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou and Nadine Gordimer, showing how different generations have found their voices. They talk about where they write.They talk about how they write. Most importantly they discuss why and what they write. As Margaret Atwood points out in her bracing introduction, the 'Women Writers' here cannot be put into a box, neatly labelled WW. The label should probably read WWAAW, 'Writers Who Are Also Women.' What unites them is less their gender than their commitment to the craft of writing and to life. Each interview is accompanied by a biographical and critical profile, a photograph of the writer and a facsimile manuscript page.
