Switch on and read on then the Productive Academic Writer to become a prolific academic writer!" -Dr. S. Sivasubramaniam, Department of Language Education, University of the Western Cape, South Africa "There are plenty books on the market telling the would-be author (academic or otherwise) how to write with clarity and grammatical precision. There are fewer books dealing with the issue of how to get motivated to write in the first place. That's why "The Productive Academic Writer" is so useful, for it provides sound advice, which, if followed, is sure to make the would-be writer more disciplined and productive...Although this book is primarily written for people in academia (where one's job often depends on written productivity), anyone who writes a lot, whether as an avocation or a career, will benefit from its advice." -Dr. Doug Erlandson (Amazon Top 50 Reviewer), Adjunct Instructor of Philosophy, Southeast Community College, Lincoln, NE, USA "The Productive Academic Writer: An Easy-To-Read Guide To Low-Stress Prolific Writing is a useful guide which addresses academic writing, an important issue of academics who are affected by a range of factors. In this book, Kasthurirangan Gopalakrishnan asserts that although productive writing is key to success, many people have different idiosyncrasies and blocks which prevent them from being academic writers. This book is very useful for people struggling to find out what affects their writing, and also offers solutions and systematically points out useful books which provide further info in each case... Overall, I found the book useful, with wide appeal, and I felt that it was very down to earth, direct, and sympathetic while denouncing an unduly harsh approach to writing productivity." -Reviewed By Nandita Keshavan for Readers' Favorite
