In this book Dr. Dannelle D. Stevens offers five key principles
that will bolster your knowledge of academic writing, enable you to
develop a manageable, sustainable and even enjoyable writing
practice, and, in the process, effectively increase your
publication output and promote your academic career. A successful
and productive book and journal article author, writing coach, the
creator of a nationally-recognized, cross-disciplinary faculty
writing program, and with a long career as a faculty member and
experience as a department chair, Dannelle offers a unique
combination of motivation, reflective practices, analytical tools,
templates and advice to set you on the path to being a productive
and creative writer. Drawing on her experience as a writer, and on
her extensive research into the psychology of writing and the craft
of scholarly writing, Dannelle starts from the premise that most
faculty have never been taught to write, and that writers, both
experienced and novice, frequently experience anxiety and
self-doubt that erode confidence. She begins by guiding readers to
understand themselves as writers, and discover what has impeded or
stimulated them in the past to establish positive new attitudes and
sustainable habits. Dannelle provides strategies for setting doable
goals, organizing a more productive writing life, and demonstrates
the benefits of writing groups, including offering a variety of
ways in which you can experiment with collaborative practice. In
addition, she offers a series of reflections, exercises and
activities to spark your writing fluency and creativity. Whether
developing journal articles, book chapters, book proposals, book
reviews, or conference proposals, this book will help you demystify
the hidden structures and common patterns in academic writing and
help you match your manuscript to the language, structures and
conventions of your discipline be it in the sciences, social
sciences or humanities. Most importantly, believing that connecting
your passions with your work is essential to stimulating your ideas
and enthusiasm, this essential guide offers you the knowledge and
skills to write more.
