Synopsis

The Counterintuitive Writer takes a new perspective on academic writing, encouraging readers to follow the road “less travelled” as they figure out what they want to write and how to write it.

Using easy-to-understand examples, practical exercises, and innovative approaches that apply to various types of writing, this text guides the reader on how to:

• Overcome writer’s block 
• Develop a focused topic 
• Organize essays, reports and research papers 
• Apply the principle of “predictable structure and unpredictable content” to capture – and hold – readers’ attention 
• Craft a compelling introduction and conclusion 
• Write concise, coherent paragraphs 
• Summarize key points; and 
• Avoid common writing pitfalls, including logical fallacies, unintentional plagiarism, and grammatical errors.
