Description
"Indeed, writing book reviews can further one's professional goals both inside and outside academia, not only as a service to others but in sustaining a lifetime of writing and in building a record of publication. Publishing reviews supports three distinct, interconnected areas of a writer's work: attentive, writerly reading to keep up with one's field; thoughtful engagement in the field's conversation; and connection with editors and readers... As such, this type of writing bridges academic and public writing, critical and creative impulses, and modes of writerly reading and creative writing."
