Soundwriting Pedagogies indeed created an exigence for Intermediate Digital Authoring, as Soundwriting contributors such as Jennifer J. Buckner and Kirsten Daley (2018) and Michael Burns, Timothy R. Dougherty, Ben Kuebrich, & Yanira Rodríguez (2018) demonstrate that sound can be approached creatively and flexibly to include students’ abilities and interests.

The purpose of this webtext is to contribute new knowledge to soundwriting pedagogies in three primary ways: First, based on a course titled Intermediate Digital Authoring and its "sonic essay" assignment, it foregrounds voices in a Canadian university’s professional writing program, situated in a sonically rich location that has received little attention in writing studies. The Greater Toronto Area is known for its rich, cultural tapestry and arts scene, cultivating the likes of The Weeknd, Drake, Shawn Mendes, Feist, and Rush.
