About the Book



"A concise and practical manual on developing reading, writing, and critical thinking skills in tandem For college students learning how to write on scholarly subjects, writing and critical thinking go hand in hand.

Drawing on years of teaching critical thinking and writing, including almost a decade of teaching Harvard's freshman expository writing course, the authors invite readers to consider the intimate relationship between thinking and the creative, critical, self-actualizing act of writing. Interviews with some of the most interesting and brilliant writers working today Advice on how to structure an argument, write for an audience, work through writer's block and anxiety, and much more Tips on how to make your writing unique and personal Exercises and templates to help novice writers reach their full potential in practice"--
