A practical framework for academic writing

Paul J. Silvia’s guide treats academic writing as work that needs a place in the calendar, addressing habits and excuses that can keep projects unfinished. It moves from motivation and time management to the process of writing, submitting, and revising scholarly work, including articles and books. The second edition extends its strategies across academic disciplines and adds a chapter on grant and fellowship proposals. Its central concern is how to sustain writing alongside the other demands of academic life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students and researchers working on dissertations, articles, or books
  • Academics seeking practical approaches to writing routines and revision
  • Grant and fellowship applicants looking for guidance on proposal writing

Book overview

All academics need to write, but many struggle to finish their dissertations, articles, books, or grant proposals. Writing is hard work and can be difficult to wedge into a frenetic academic schedule. How can we write it all while still having a life?

In this second edition of his popular guidebook, Paul Silvia offers fresh advice to help you overcome barriers to writing and use your time more productively. After addressing some common excuses and bad habits, he provides practical strategies to motivate students, professors, researchers, and other academics to become better and more prolific writers. Silvia draws from his own experience in psychology to explain how to write, submit, and revise academic work, from journal articles to books, all without sacrificing evenings, weekends, and vacations. The tips and strategies in this second edition have been updated to apply to academic writing in most disciplines. Also new to this edition is a chapter on writing grant and fellowship proposals.
