Are you looking for a new resource to help engage faculty and students from across all disciplines in thinking about writing?
Are you hosting writing groups and seeking research-based activities to help change their approach to writing?
My latest book, Writing Rediscovered: Nine Concepts to Transform Your Relationship With Writing, may be what you are searching for.
This is a short, accessible, research-based book written for a broad audience. Readers are introduced to the idea of threshold concepts and then to nine threshold ideas about writing. Each chapter describes common misconceptions about writing and introduces a better, research-based idea. Readers are encouraged to engage in reflection about their own experiences. Then they are encouraged to try different tools and behaviors to fill their process toolbox.
The book will be shipped September 15. If you pre-order by Monday, September 1 from the independent bookseller Porchlight, you will receive a significant discount.
And, as a bonus, if you order 10 or more copies for your faulty development or writing group, I will be happy to zoom with your group.
