Although all academics must write, many struggle to complete their dissertations, papers, books, or grant submissions. Writing is challenging activity that might be difficult to fit into a hectic academic schedule. How can we do it all and still have a life?

Paul Silvia offers new recommendations in this second edition of his bestselling manual to help you overcome hurdles to writing and make better use of your time. He presents practical techniques to push students, professors, researchers, and other academics to become better and more productive writers after addressing some frequent excuses and poor habits. Silvia uses his personal psychology expertise to show how to create, submit, and revise academic work ranging from journal articles to books without sacrificing evenings, weekends, or holidays. How to Write a Lot's tips and tactics have been modified to adapt to academic writing in most areas. A chapter on preparing grant and fellowship proposals is also new in this edition.
