Writing Rediscovered: Nine Concepts to Transform Your Relationship with Writing (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781394358625)

Reframe Your Ideas About Writing. Reclaim Your Power as a Writer.

In Writing Rediscovered, author and writing scholar Elizabeth Wardle invites you to transform your approach to writing through nine powerful "threshold concepts." These foundational ideas will reshape how you think, feel, and act as a writer.

Rather than offering generic writing tips, this book dives deep into what's holding you back from seeing yourself as a writer. You'll challenge your beliefs about what writing is, who can be a writer, and what makes writing "good." Dr. Wardle helps you reflect on past experiences with writing instruction and replace damaging ideas with more productive ones.

Writing Rediscovered blends decades of research with accessible, interactive methods, offering practical tools to help you reshape your writing identity. Whether you're writing reports, emails, or poetry, this book will change how you approach writing.

Inside the Book:

• Research-based strategies for building writing confidence and understanding your relationship with writing.
• Insights into how your experiences, emotions, body, and tools influence your writing process.
• Reflective activities to actively engage you in transforming your writing life.
• Exercises for developing your personal writing process and toolkit.
• Guidance for creating a Writer's Manifesto to shape your writing going forward.

From the author of Writing About Writing--the groundbreaking textbook that revolutionized college writing instruction--Writing Rediscovered dismantles harmful myths about writing. As Director of the Howe Center for Writing Excellence at Miami University, Elizabeth Wardle brings decades of experience helping writers of all kinds redefine their relationship with writing.

It's time to reframe your writing. Reclaim your voice. And rediscover the power of your words.
