Writing Partnerships in Higher Education: A Guide for Academics and HE Professionals

Writing Partnerships in Higher Education offers a timely account of practical strategies and personal insights designed to help with the process of writing with others. This book articulates the unspoken ‘rules of the game’ for developing effective writing partnerships and brokering new writing networks at individual, institutional and strategic levels.

Whether writing with students or supervisors, co-writing papers, setting up writing groups, editing book volumes or supporting writing partnership practices, this book provides a one-stop-shop for all types of collaborative writing endeavours relevant to academic writing for publication. Featuring contributions from a range of scholars who offer their insights, experience and frameworks for effective writing partnerships, the carefully curated chapters are organised into three easily navigated themes:

• Section 1: Insights from writing at the coalface
• Section 2: Cultivating writing cultures
• Section 3: Writing with others in creative and innovative ways

By addressing all aspects of writing collaborations and partnerships, this book is a must-have guide for any academic writer looking to start co-writing themselves, lead and support the co-writing of others, or expand and develop new practices in their writing partnerships.
