    The BEST book on academic writing and editing
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2022*

I stumbled on this book in my public library’s new nonfiction section. (Shout-out to public libraries!) As soon as I finished this book, I immediately ordered it for my graduate-level academic writing center. There is no higher praise – except that to read Germano’s work is not only to learn, it is to enjoy. Germano’s prose is lovingly readable, an eminently suitable compliment for a book on writing instruction. His novel contribution to the field is to insist that writing isn’t to spew out a first draft, with revising as an entirely new step. Instead, Germano sees revision as part of the writing process all along – and it doesn’t only happen one time. (He quotes Toni Morrison on her eleventh draft, and reminds us all that we have no cause to complain about only revising four times!) The book is filled with useful exercises like taking out all your important writing to reduce it to the bare bones, and see the beauty in what you’ve taken out. He also introduces the “writing W” – write your intro, write your conclusion, write the middle, revise your conclusion, revise your intro. Perhaps the best thing about Germano’s book (for my purposes, anyway) is that it is intentionally geared toward academic writing, but mandates the need for clarity and creativity in constructing and supporting your argument. I intend to make this book mandatory in my introductory and thesis-level writing courses. And I intend to use it for all of my personal writing projects as well.

    Great book for writers and students!
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2023*

I am a professor, write all the time, and I teach undergraduates and graduate students how to write.I've used this book for my own revision process, as well as in my classes to help students think about revision.It's a GREAT book! Highly recommend.

    Great Writing Resource
  

*by R***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2022*

I'm glad I read a positive review of this book and decided to buy it. If you spend a lot of time writing, this book is an invaluable tool. If you are a teacher who needs ideas about how to suggest strategies for writing to your students, you should buy this book. Germano manages to break down the writing process, which inevitably involves many revisions, into an easy to understand process and helps make suggestions for ways to improve a writing project. Where this book really shines is in the suggestions for how to scaffold or outline a project and some jump starts for beginning and maintaining it (workarounds for writers block, etc.). I only wish I'd had this book when I was writing my dissertation, but I now have a book I will recommend to my future students.
