Writing About Teaching and Learning: A Guide for Aspiring and Experienced Authors

A byproduct of Writing for Publication sessions given at several ACEI Annual International Conferences, this book speaks to educators who want to write and publish professional articles and books. Mary Renck Jalongo and Janet Brown McCracken discuss what it means to be an author and offer advice on what characterizes high-quality writing, how to make time for writing, how to focus on a topic, where to find suitable outlets, and how to fine-tune a manuscript. In addition, the booklet includes information on the submission and editing processes and provides a helpful glossary of terms. 1997. 64 pp.
