This qualitative study examined the transitions that writers ma1re when moving from academic to professional discourse communities. Subjects were six university seniors enrolled in a special "writing internship course" in which they discussed and analyzed the writing they were doing in I2-week professional internships at corporations, small businesses, and public service agencies in a major metropolitan area. Participant observer and case-study data included drafts and final copies of all writing that the in terns produced on the job (including texts and suggested revisions by other employees), an ethnographic log of data and speculations arising from the group discussions, written course journals from each intern, transcriptions of taped, discourse-based and general interviews with the interns, and a final I5-page retrospective analysis of each intern's writing on the job. Results showed a remarkably consistent pattern of expectation, frustration, and accommodation as the interns adjusted to their new writing communities. The results have important implications for the lateral and vertical transfer of writing skills across different communicative contexts.
