  The purpose of this collection is to contribute to views and policies about adult literacy. From a range of experiences in adult literacy, language education and community publishing, each contributor draws on the practical business of working for good quality learning and development opportunities. Each chapter describes a particular context or site in which writing takes place, such as adult language classes; each author then explores relevant issues, such as blocks to writing and each then asserts features from experience which constituted good practice. The chapters are grouped into three sections, broadly addressing three themes common to writing development with adults both in educational settings and in the context of community writing and publishing groups.
