Becoming an Academic Writer: 50 Exercises for Paced, Productive, and Powerful Writing Second Edition is designed as a practical self-paced guide to help the reader learn to write and master the specifics of academic writing. Author Patricia Goodson provides 50 exercises that are grounded in a theoretically sound and empirically based model.  The organization allows you to start at the beginning and work your way through all of the exercises, or focus on exercises that will help you build your skills where you most feel the need.  Tips for the ESL writer are included in a number of chapters.  

 In addition, the 2nd edition includes a  new and valuable addition in Appendix A - "Reading and Writing-- How to STOP making the Literature Review an Excuse for Not writing,  In this appendix, the author covers how to read and write simultaneously, and provides a system of how to do that.  Also new are the POWER in Practice Boxes that are featured in every chapter.   These boxes are very aligned with the content of the chapter.   In contrast,   the "Research Shows" boxes allow the reader to take a brief break from the main topic and learn about research and various other facets of academic writing.
Industry Reviews
"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
"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
PRAISE FOR THE PREVIOUS EDITION

"This book makes the reader want to write! 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
