In this chapter, Troy Hicks and Andy Schoenborn describe their stance of invitation in detail. They argue that offering invitations creates confident writers by:
- Providing opportunities for innovative genres and authentic audiences;
- Introducing generative patterns of peer response;
- Balancing a sense of structure with possibilities for exploration;
- Demonstrating flexible aspects of writing that can contribute to an author’s craft.
