“Good academic writing is less a matter of conforming to rules than of exercising judgement, informed by a sense of audience expectations and developed by disciplined practice. Academic Writing: An Introduction is one of those rare guides that knows this.” – Brian Turner, University of Winnipeg

Academic Writing: An Introduction is a concise version of Janet Giltrow’s acclaimed textbook Academic Writing, designed to be more compact and accessible for use in one-term writing courses. The third edition has been re-organized for greater flexibility and easier course organization, and includes a new section on research proposals; expanded exercises; and examples from a wider range of disciplines.
