“If you're new to the professoriate and wondering how you'll stay in the writing groove you inhabited during graduate school, or you've been a teacher or administrator or in another professional role for a while and have lost the momentum but not the desire, this is the book for you. Plenty of encouragement, plenty of advice, plenty of wisdom.”
