Book Title: How to write a lot: A practical guide to productive academic writing

Author: Paul J. Silvia

Selection Statement:

For many new academics, myself included, the idea of publishing scholarly works is intimidating. This is especially true for librarians with operational roles and little time for research. I eventually stumbled upon this book and wished I’d found it earlier. It offers practical advice for the project management aspects, writing style, navigating publication venues, pursuing grants, dispels myths, and is chock full of wisdom. This book should be standard issue for new faculty.
