Product Description

Review

Daniel Chandler has produced an exhaustive study of the writing process from a variety of perspectives, his seventeen-page bibliography being a testament in its own right to the size of his undertaking... The range of writers quoted is fascinating, and the extracts which illustrate what they have to say about their craft are a never-ending source of delight... There is much in this work which will be useful to writers, particularly those in academic settings, whose needs are held in mind throughout the text. ---Anthony Adams, University of Cambridge (Welsh Journal of Education)

Book Description

This book is a wide-ranging exploration of the act of writing which focuses on a variety of ways in which the experience is framed by academic and literary writers. With a primary focus on academic writing, Dr Chandler outlines the importance of the media and processes of mediation involved, referring in particular to language, the written word, textual genres, writing tools, academic disciplines and roles, publishing systems and personality.
