“Rachael Cayley has distilled her expertise as an editor, professor, and blogger to share much needed insights about the realities and pleasures of writing in academe. With respect, compassion, and charm, she re-centers graduate student writing to be at the heart of the academic research enterprise. Despairing graduate writers will benefit from Cayley’s shrewd academic writing advice—not too much, not too little, but just right.”—Kristina Quynn, Founding Director CSU Writes, Assistant Dean Graduate School, Colorado State University-Fort Collins
