Working on this second edition, I also must admit I did not expect the book’s success! It has been such a joy to hear from people who take time to share—in person, by e-mail, or in their blogs—the many ways in which the book has helped their writing and their productivity. I owe these people, and countless others who have used and recommended the exercises, immense gratitude. And thank you, also, for the suggestions on how to improve the text. I incorporated many of them, hoping the book will meet readers’ needs even more so than the first edition.enBecoming an Academic WriterBook
