About this listen

With growing academic responsibilities, family commitments, and inboxes, scholars are struggling to fulfill their writing goals. A finished book - or even steady journal articles - may seem like an impossible dream. But, as Joli Jensen proves, it really is possible to write happily and productively in academe.

Jensen begins by busting the myth that universities are supportive writing environments. She points out that academia, an arena dedicated to scholarship, offers pressures that actually prevent scholarly writing. She shows how to acknowledge these less-than-ideal conditions, and how to keep these circumstances from draining writing time and energy. Jensen introduces tools and techniques that encourage frequent, low-stress writing. She points out common ways writers stall and offers workarounds that maintain productivity. Her focus is not on content, but on how to overcome whatever stands in the way of academic writing.

Cut down the academic sword of Damocles, Jensen advises. Learn how to write often and effectively, without pressure or shame. With her encouragement, writers of all levels will find ways to create the writing support they need and deserve.

I recommend this book to all writers - whether stuck or unstuck. Spread evenly across 5 parts and 28 (!) chapters, it is certainly long and requires patience but that's true of the writing process itself. I heard it over a month. The narration is fantastic and the voice and pitch soothing and perfect. The only thing I wished for was an additional pdf with few exercises. Although,given the practical suggestions built into the book, I sort of understand why that was skipped. Wishing for many more from the author.

A gift for writers.
