Silvia explains that writing productively does not require innate skills or special traits but specific tactics and actions. Drawing on examples from his own field of psychology, he shows readers how to overcome motivational roadblocks and become prolific without sacrificing evenings, weekends, and vacations. After describing strategies for writing productively, the author gives detailed advice from the trenches on how to write, submit, revise, and resubmit articles, how to improve writing quality, and how to write and publish academic work. Review: Short and sweet(ish) - This book worked for me. I now understand myself as a 'binge writer'; a condition with guilt, anxiety and lost weekends as the symptoms. Now I understand the key to becoming a consistent, productive writer is to consistently produce writing. Simple. This book (in particular Chapter 2) takes a no nonsense approach to writing. It will not ask you analyse your writing fears or release some hidden inner novelist. It simply provides three tools to write: a schedule, goals and monitoring system and some helpful advice and tips on style and types of writing. Before reading this I was under the false impression that some people were just good at writing or they wrote a lot much because they liked it or were less lazy than myself. Now I understand from a referenced study, quotes from great authors and the author himself that the key to producing writing is to consistently sit down and make yourself write. This book is a short, sweet because the advice and tools work for me and (ish) because chapter 2 will reduce your excuses about not writing to nonsense if you are anything like me. Review: It made me laugh and feel motivated at the same time. - A concise and comical read. I enjoyed my time reading this (brief as it was). A delightfully written book which has served as some much needed motivation for a budding academic writer. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who needs a few laughs and to get some tips on how to be more productive at writing. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 756,497 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 624 in Under- & Postgraduate Student Guides 8,188 in Scientific Psychology & Psychiatry 13,962 in Language Study & Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 881 Reviews | ## Images ![How to Write a Lot: A Practical Guide to Productive Academic Writing (LifeTools: Books for the General Public) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ykDBA-TyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Short and sweet(ish) *by A***. on 11 August 2014* This book worked for me.

I enjoyed my time reading this (brief as it was). A delightfully written book which has served as some much needed motivation for a budding academic writer. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who needs a few laughs and to get some tips on how to be more productive at writing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful for PhD *by M***A on 28 January 2014* I have only discovered this book recently, read it in a day, and change my wrong writing habits. I was one of those saying "I am waiting for an inspiration to write" and never writing anything properly until the last minute. However, this book on very clear and interesting (funny, as well) way explains that writing is a habit and scheduling a time for writing is the most essential part in the writing process. It really change my attitude towards academic writing, from "i hate it but I must do it", to "Not so bad at least, and I can practice it and become better". Extremely helpful for me, 1st year PhD student. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/50989689-how-to-write-a-lot-a-practical-guide-to-productive](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/50989689-how-to-write-a-lot-a-practical-guide-to-productive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
