Writing Rediscovered: Nine Concepts to Transform Your Relationship with Writing
In Writing Rediscovered, author and writing scholar Elizabeth Wardle invites you to transform your approach to writing through nine powerful "threshold concepts." These foundational ideas will reshape how you think, feel, and act as a writer.
Rather than offering generic writing tips, this book dives deep into what's holding you back from seeing yourself as a writer.

Dr. Wardle helps you reflect on past experiences with writing instruction and replace damaging ideas with more productive ones.
Writing Rediscovered blends decades of research with accessible, interactive methods, offering practical tools to help you reshape your writing identity. Whether you're writing reports, emails, or poetry, this book will change how you approach writing.
Inside the book, you'll find research-based strategies for building writing confidence and understanding your relationship with writing; reflective activities to actively engage you in transforming your writing life; exercises for developing your personal writing process and toolkit; and more.

I really enjoyed reading this. As I read, there were ideas that I want to apply to my own writing and share with my writing students; there are several people whom I want to either recommend this book to or just get them copies. I appreciate that it’s written for a general audience, particularly those who may be hesitant to even refer to themselves as writers at all. And yet, having just finished a tough article this weekend, there several ideas here that I’m looking to try, too.
