After describing strategies for writing productively, the author gives detailed advice from the trenches on how to write, submit, revise, and resubmit articles; how to improve writing quality; and how to write and publish academic work."--BOOK JACKET UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0618/2006023493.html ER -
