Reviews

"""This book is a thorough presentation of the latest developments in the theory and practice of writing research....This extensive, yet concise book describes how writing processes are studied scientifically today, what these studies can tell us and, most importantly, what we can do with the information. This practical dimension makes this book excellent. Perhaps we have here the next classic volume that will inspire writing research of the future."" —European Journal of Cognitive Psychology"
