I found myself reaching for my calendar and penciling in writing sessions for the rest of my week after reading the first chapter. The techniques and exercises are effective and easy to implement; they fit with any writing project, in any stage of the writing process.--H. Elisabeth Ellington<br><br>The integration of the practical experience, research base, and theory provides all the elements necessary for an academic writing course. As addressed throughout the text, academic writing is challenging and often frustrating. Pat Goodson's informal yet informed voice throughout provides needed encouragement for the frustrated academic writer.--Erin McTigue<br><br>The number one strength of the book is Goodson's voice and the clarity with which she writes. My students appreciated her straightforward approach and could relate to the book.--Tracy R. Nichols<br>
