This practical guide for writers presents insights, tips, strategies, and recommendations for publishing in educational periodicals. It will be useful for many professionals whose educational background has not adequately prepared them to write for a publication. The reader will be able to identify, understand, and work through the stages of writing and publication from prewriting through manuscript completion. This book will help in identifying the causes and types of typical writer's blocks, offering strategies to overcome them. It will also serve as a guide to understanding and improving writing styles, writing productively, and professional discourse. New ideas and suggestions for using personal computers in writing efforts are also provided.
