The writing process has become a more complete art form with the World-Wide Web. Writers have become their own publishers.
Writers have a larger audience.
Writers are in more control of their work at all levels of its development. This is more true for student-writers today then ever before. And the results are astonishing. The high school writing process has evolved from literary magazines to webfolios in a very short time because of the Internet. When I was a student in college in the early 70's, I was introduced to the concept of being my own publisher in a book binding course.
