YOUR SUPERVISOR SAID "YOUR WRITING NEEDS WORK"-BUT NEVER SHOWED YOU EXACTLY WHAT TO FIX OR HOW TO FIX IT.
Stop guessing. Start practicing the exact sentence-level, paragraph-level, and section-level skills that journal editors actually evaluate.
You know the frustration. Vague feedback like "improve your flow," "too descriptive," or "lacks analysis"-but no explanation of what that means in practice. You rewrite the same paragraph five times, unsure whether it is getting better or just different. Generic writing guides tell you to "be clear" and "find your voice," but nobody hands you a fill-in template that turns a descriptive literature review into a critical synthesis.
The Academic Writing & Scholarly Style Workbook changes that. This is not a textbook. It is a hands-on practice tool with 50 sentence-level exercises, paragraph frameworks, and section templates that build your academic writing skills from the smallest unit of prose to full manuscript sections-one focused worksheet at a time.
Built for graduate students drafting a thesis or dissertation, PhD candidates preparing their first journal submission, postdoctoral researchers polishing manuscripts for publication, multilingual and ESL/EFL scholars mastering English academic conventions, and faculty who teach scholarly writing and need structured classroom exercises.
Inside this workbook, you will:
Diagnose your exact weaknesses across 10 writing dimensions with a scored self-assessment, then build a personalized practice plan that tells you which chapters to prioritize first
Master hedging, signposting, reporting verbs, and Hyland's metadiscourse markers so every sentence in your manuscript communicates the precise level of certainty your evidence supports
Build publication-ready paragraphs using the TEEL and PEAL frameworks-with fill-in templates that ensure every paragraph has a topic sentence, evidence, analysis, and a link to the next idea
Transform descriptive literature reviews into critical syntheses using the Synthesis Matrix Builder and Graff & Birkenstein's "They Say / I Say" argument templates
Write a complete CARS-model introduction (Swales), a reproducible Methods section, a clear Results section, and a compelling Discussion-each with dedicated section-level builders
Fix the 20 most common grammar errors in academic English-including article misuse, tense inconsistency, and nominalization-with targeted correction exercises designed for multilingual scholars
Measure your growth with a before-and-after writing sample assessment, then maintain your skills using the daily 5-minute, 15-minute, and 30-minute practice banks
BONUS: Includes a Feedback Translator that decodes the 25 most common supervisor comments into specific skill targets with exact template references. Plus discipline-specific exercises for Health Sciences, Social Sciences & Education, and Business & STEM-and a photocopiable APA 7th Edition Quick-Reference Card.
