According to Wardle, writing in new work environments involves interactions of various factors, such as the writer’s knowledge of the readership and the genre they are writing in, as well as their sense of identity and authority at work. According to Wardle, each of these elements affects a writer’s ability to communicate and accomplish their objectives. To explore how people deal with these problems when they start working in new environments, Wardle draws on research in multiple studies and research. Additionally, she provides insight into the types of mentoring and group learning opportunities that can help writers succeed in these settings.
My opinion on the reading
Honestly, I enjoyed reading this Wardle piece. When learning about writing as an amateur you don’t see certain things as professional writers do. I have never thought that working in newer environments can improve my writing and expand my knowledge on a subject that honestly people do not really care about. As a low-tier writer, you do not see the world as they do. with all the research they collect, it is like seeing another side of things if that makes sense. After reading this Wardle piece I can agree with what she is saying and how this benefits future writers. personally, I do not want to become a writer. But if you have any interest in broadening your education in writing please read Identity, Authority, and Learning to Write in New Workplaces by Elizabeth Wardle. Respectfully, I am in shocked that there is more to learn in the writing realm of things.
