Why read it?

1 author picked "They Say / I Say" as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is most helpful for scholars who worry that they “don’t know the rules” for scholarly writing. The fear of being a clueless newbie can stymie us, especially because there really are unspoken rules in academic writing.

The authors make the structure and norms of scholarly writing clear and accessible, so that hesitant newcomers can recognize them, and then learn how to use them in their own work.

From Joli's list on help you with academic writing.
