Item detailsHome > Medical > Education & Training BECOMING AN ACADEMIC WRITER: 50 EXERCISES FOR PACED, PRODUCTIVE, AND POWERFUL WRITING This book helps academic writers gain control over writing and publishing, master specific aspects of academic writing, and improve their productivity. Patricia Goodson's book offers weekly exercises and tools to achieve these goals. The exercises are grounded in a theoretically-sound and empirically-based mode comprising a set of behavioral principles (e.g., writing regularly, separating generating from editing) and specific practices (weekly exercises) which ensure success. Based on the work of writing theoretician Peter Elbow, the empirical research done by Robert Boice (and others) on writing productivity of college professors, and the research into the practice patterns of elite performers (such as Olympic athletes), the principles and practices have been developed and tested over time. Yet, when applied to the task of writing, most applications have targeted non-academic writers, such as fiction authors. This book uniquely combines these successful principles with a set of original exercises applicable to the writing needs of college professors and students.
