What is Writing for Interior Design, Patricia?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your interest. I answered your question, but in the wrong place. It's on my wall, where it makes no sense at all. Sigh! Patricia

Hi Patricia,
Did you write the book or is it a collection of some kind, and is it about design, or about writing?

I guess the photo isn't too clear. I mean, my name is on there, as on my other books. Gosh, yes, I did write it and them. Writing for Interior Design is a college-level professional writing book targeted to interior design majors. It is not a collection, it is about writing, and to some extent about design, insofar as writing is part of or ancillary to, design. I taught writing to artists and designers for many years, and the book is based on my syllabus, although it includes much more than any teacher could cover in a semester. I taught in an English Department, but the book is marketed to design departments, particularly for use in professional practices classes. Thank you for your interest.
