This book is a remix of Jason S. Wrench, Narissra M. Punyanunt-Carter, and Katherine S. Thweatt’s Interpersonal Communication: A Mindful Approach to Relationships OER (available from Milne Open Textbooks). Thank you to these authors for an excellent basis on which to build a custom book. We also use content from Meggie Mapes’ Speak Out, Call In: Public Speaking as Advocacy, Cameron Piercy’s Problem Solving in Teams and Groups, and several other open-access texts (cited at the end of chapters using new content.) We are grateful for the (Communication) OER community for creating invaluable resources that helped us remix and edit this book.

This book was made possible by a generous grant from the KU Libraries’ Open Educational Resource (OER) Initiative. Special thanks to Heather Mac Bean for her support of this project.
