Professors as Writers

Many academics find that writing is the part of their work they most often put off. In this practical guide, psychologist Robert Boice draws on his studies of faculty writers to show how professors can build steady, productive writing habits. Rather than waiting for long stretches of free time or bursts of inspiration, readers are encouraged to write in short, regular sessions, to track their progress, and to use simple behavioral strategies to overcome blocks and procrastination. The book is aimed at scholars at every stage of their careers who want a realistic, manageable approach to getting their work into print.
