Conceived as the successor to Gregg and Steinberg's Cognitive Processes in Writing, this book takes a multidisciplinary approach to writing research. The authors describe their current thinking and data in such a way that readers in psychology, English, education, and linguistics will find it readable and stimulating. It should serve as a resource book of theory, tools and techniques, and applications that should stimulate and guide the field for the next decade.

The chapters showcase approaches taken by active researchers in eight countries. Some of these researchers have published widely in their native language but little of their work has appeared in English-language publications.

Reviews

"This book is a thorough presentation of the latest developments in the theory and practice of writing research....This extensive, yet concise book describes how writing processes are studied scientifically today, what these studies can tell us and, most importantly, what we can do with the information. This practical dimension makes this book excellent. Perhaps we have here the next classic volume that will inspire writing research of the future."
-European Journal of Cognitive Psychology
