Welcome! Hopefully, a professor has chosen one of our Sarabande authors for study in your class, making you an important part of an exciting new project that is directed mainly for your benefit. Our goal is to link you directly with the author you are studying and to give you additional information that you might not otherwise get outside the classroom.

Our classroom materials include interactive reader’s guides for each of our six featured authors, containing questions posed by the author, essay topics, suggested further reading, and creative writing exercises. You will also find author biographies and interviews, and sample syllabi. We have also added a special section, Teaching and Learning with Computers, for those of you who are new to the online world.

If your professor has adopted one of our featured titles, he/she will be giving you a password that allows you to access the Discussion Area. The bulletin board where you may want to post questions is the Student Lounge. There is also a chatroom designed for live interviews with the authors, which your instructor will schedule with us during the semester. Whichever of our featured authors you are studying, each is excited to talk with you. If your questions are relevant, creative, and thoughtful, you are sure to get some interesting answers.
