Book Reviews of How to Write a Lot: A Practical Guide to Productive Academic Writing
Book Review: Really constructive book
Summary: 5 Stars
Really helpful for academics who need or want to change their writing mindset, writing habits, and writing productivity.
Though written by and primarily for academic and broadly experimental psychologists, this is a very helpful book for any academic writer (I am a social scientist working mainly in qualitative methods).
Silvia usefully discusses writing schedules, blocks to writing, and various tools to help get into and maintain good writing habits.
He has a personable, clear and nicely humorous style. I have found some books of this type rather admonishing, but I did not find that here.
I have already recommended this book to both postgrads and to faculty colleagues.
