[Michele Hilton Boon · Rating 5 out of 5]

I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in re-invigorating their relationship with their writing. It would also be very useful, even essential, for anyone organising a writing group, retreat, or course for academics or researchers (the appendices give very useful templates for schedules and activities). The author is one of the leaders of her field and has previously written books on how to write journal articles and theses. This book brings together her thoughts and experiences on ways to make writing a social activity in order to increase productivity and enjoyment. The Social Writing Framework (chapter 10) is a very welcome concept for ensuring that we engage with writing in a way that fulfils us as human beings (physically, cognitively and socially), and the supporting vignettes are quite inspiring.

Very good guidebook on a criminally under-reported topic.
