In the five years since this book was originally published, the world of the writer has changed drastically. We now have robots that can write prose for us, but do they do as good a job as humans? In this extensive update of our original, best-selling book on dealing with academic writing, we show you how to respond to feedback and find your academic voice, both with and without the help of generative AI tools that will write for you. In this new writing world, it is more essential than ever that we understand how good academic writing works and how to produce it with the minimal amount of pain. While some say writing is becoming a dying art, we think the opposite will happen. The ability to recognise good writing and produce your own crisp, clear text will become more and more prized. Tools like chatbots that generate text, while powerful, need to be used carefully and ethically by academic writers so that readers continue to trust academics as professionals. In this book, we show you how to take control of your writing and communicate clearly and effectively with any academic audience while fostering your own unique academic voice.
