This edition of finding your way in academic writing, the authors
focused on the theme of writing as thinking. The authors focus on a
new theme: "applying knowledge to writing performance". This shift
introduces readers to the notion of applying knowledge sourced from
literature, as well as knowledge sourced from data in field
research. Therefore, this title is new in a number of ways. In this
edition the organising construct is the application of knowledge,
field research writing is introduced, and field research writing is
integrated with literature research writing.

From veteran teacher and acclaimed author Joni B. Cole comes a
revised and expanded edition of her popular writing guide Toxic
Feedback. Successful writers know that feedback is often the
difference between writing and not writing, and between writing and
writing well. But feedback mismanaged is more likely to leave the
writer confused, intimidated, or even deflated. This book not only
detoxifies the feedback process with humor, but it also shows
writers and feedback providers how to make the most of this
powerful resource at every stage of the writing and publishing
process. This new edition includes a second preface, four new
chapters, updates throughout the original material, and several
additional exercises. Cole also includes new and previous
interviews with authors such as Khaled Hosseini, Juan Morales,
Grace Paley, Jodi Picoult, and Matthew Salesses. Toxic Feedback
remains essential reading for all writers, critique groups, MFA
programs, and teachers of writing at every level.
