Cover Design by Kyle Stedman Abstract Tuning in to Soundwriting asks readers and listeners to tune in to five distinct areas of soundwriting that deserve the attention of rhetoric and writing scholars: soundscapes, accessibility, podcasts, sonic historiography, and the actual technical work of audio production. This edited collection's six born-digital chapters invite the audience to experience multimodal arguments that blend the written word with audio and images. Teachers, scholars, and makers of soundwriting can turn to this collection to ground themselves in key concepts that are fundamental to sonic rhetoric.
