ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
When I was an undergraduate writing tutor, I once gave up tickets to a Sonic Youth/Yo La Tengo concert so that I could stay home and finish my research project on regional writing centers. That sentence probably tells you most of what you need to know about me, but I mention it here to illustrate how long I have been working on the ideas for this book. As a result, the number of people I want to thank for helping me along the way is considerable. Let me start by thanking all the students and tutors that I had the privilege of working with and learning from. A great many colleagues were willing to use their own valuable time in order to provide feedback and advice throughout my writing and research processes, and you all deserve gracious praise: Esther Al-Tabaa, Alice Batt, Olivia Briggs, Kathleen Shine Cain, Jonikka Charlton, Colin Charlton, Melinda DeNero, Michele Eodice, Benjamin Erwin, Jeanette Jeneault, Rebecca Hallman, Lou Herman, Dawnelle Jager, Kerri Jordan, Shannon McCrocklin, Megan McIntyre, Michelle Miley, Magdalena Nowak, Steve Price, Martha Smith, Kyle Stedman, Hill Taylor, Ellen Walker, Stacia Watkins, Nancy Wils
