This exciting title puts writing at the heart of the literacy debate. Looking at the vast number and roles of scribes in the cultural life of societies, Mace examines how the power balance between scribe and author alters in the public world. She considers how scribes keep or lose the trust of their authors in expressive writing; and finally sets out arguments for the 'language experience' approach to adult literacy learning and teaching. Including valuable research, examples and anecdotes this title focuses on how the scribed-for or 'authors' should be seen not as less literate than the scribe, but differently so.

Reviews - "The book is both interesting for the non-specialist because of her many examples drawn from fiction, interviews and history. It is also potentially useful as background reading for those involved in all aspects of education." - (Robin Close, Literacy today); "Jane Mace has an unerring instinct for examining the aspects of literacy that we take for granted...With its enormous potential for stimulating thought ...and our understanding...it is a book worth reading" - (Yvonne Hillier, Adults Learning)
