- Summary
- The author prepared this self-help manual for professors who want to write more productively, painlessly, and successfully. It reflects the authors two decades of experiences and research with professors as writers -- by compressing a lot of experience into a brief, programmatic framework. Like the actual sessions and workshops in which the author works with writers, this book admonishes and reassures.
