WELCOME

This blog is designed as a forum for instructors and students who are using one of my books or, more generally, to anyone with an interest in communication and especially in the teaching of interpersonal communication, human communication, or public speaking.

I'm always interested in what instructors and students think of my books and especially in what I can do to make them better - more relevant, more interesting, more useful, more visually appealing.

Basically, right now I devote most of my time to writing and revising my textbooks. If you'd like more information, click on "Author's Vita" for an academic overview. Click on "DeVito Domain" to visit my website detailing my books. Other than that, I'm trying to use this blog to provide materials that may be useful to the instructor teaching a communication course, to the student taking such a course, and to anyone interested in communication and communication skills.
