This micro-thread is for #PhDChat graduate students, and those struggling with #AcWri (academic writing). I do not, and cannot recommend ONE particular book on #AcWri - every book has a different and specific contribution. I can suggest a couple to start, though.
The six ones I suggested here (by @WendyLBelcher @jbernoff Zinsser, Van Maanen, Sword and @jolijensen) journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.117… are particularly useful in qualitative research contexts. I have read many others, and you can find those specific to the PhD journey on my blog.
I volunteer my already very scarce time to write blog posts and Twitter threads, which means - no, I can't write a blog post about EVERY book I have ever read. I do, however, remember which threads I've written on a few books. For example, for STEM researchers, I have suggestions
This thread is on @StephenBHeard 's book "The Scientist's Guide to Writing"
This thread is on @mmanty @dlavaque 's Writing in Political Science
This thread is on Glasman-Deal's book on Scientific Writing for Non-Native English Speakers
For STEM writers, David Lindsay's book "Scientific Writing: Thinking in Words" is a valuable volume (caveat - I found the typesetting really hard to read, so you may want to use magnifying glasses)
If you are a #PhDChat doctoral student, or even if you're doing a Masters, you should peruse my website's page where I stored reading notes for over a dozen books on how to write a PhD raulpacheco.org/resources/reso…
NOT an #AcWri book, but on coding in qualitative research, Johnny Saldana's handbook is amazingly good at teaching how to identify themes and write notes and draw insights that you can then write, from qualitative data
If you struggle with #AcWri (e.g. you're not a student, but you are immersed in academic writing) you may want to peruse my page on Reading Notes of Books. raulpacheco.org/resources/read… (I've got notes of books other than writing, which should be interesting to you too). </end thread>
