College Composition and Communication (CCC) is the journal of CCCC, the Conference on College Composition and Communication. CCC publishes research and scholarship in composition studies that support those who teach writing at the college level. The field of composition studies draws on research and theories from a broad range of humanistic disciplines while supporting a number of subfields of its own, such as technical communication, computers and composition, history of composition, writing center work, assessment, and others. Articles for CCC may stem from any of these fields, and are relevant to the work of college writing teachers and responsive to recent work in composition studies.

CCCC is seeking a new editor of CCC. The term of the present editor will end in December 2009. Interested persons should send a letter of application to be received no later than June 2, 2008.  Please click here for information.

Studies in Writing and Rhetoric The CCCC Studies in Writing & Rhetoric (SWR) series, copublished by Southern Illinois University Press, aims to influence how writing gets taught at the college level. The methods of studies vary from the critical to historical to linguistic to ethnographic, and their authors draw on work in the many various fields that inform composition—including rhetoric, communication, education, discourse analysis, psychology, cultural studies, and literature. Their focuses are similarly diverse, ranging from studies of individual writers and teachers, to work on classrooms and communities and curricula, to analyses of the social, political, and material contexts of writing and its teaching.

FORUM: Newsletter for issues about part-time and contingent faculty is published twice a year by CCCC.  FORUM accepts submissions of news items, book reviews, editorials, and/or articles related to non-tenure-track faculty in college English or composition courses.  FORUM is published twice a year, appearing in the September issue of CCC and the March issue of TETYC.

The CCCC Executive Committee authorized the establishment of the CCCC Bibliography of Composition and Rhetoric in the spring of 1989 after members of CCCC recognized that composition teachers and researchers needed a permanent, comprehensive bibliographical resource to remain informed of the scholarship in the growing discipline of composition studies.  They acted decisively to give the bibliography project an institutional home.
