How to Write Differently Summary

How to Write Differently: A Quest for Meaningful Academic Writing by Monika Kostera

Responding to the trend of formulaic writing in the academic community, How To Write Differently offers a refreshing approach to academic writing in a practical format.



The book explores how, in order to write differently, an author needs to embrace complexity and alterity and write to be read. Highlighting the importance of bringing joy and enlightenment to readers rather than simply writing for the metrics, experienced contributors delve into the significance of poetry and idiom, writing from the heart and what to write about. Chapters also consider key practicalities such as, how to make an argument and not slide into reductionism? How to engage with literature without being dull and formulaic? How to describe important issues such as empirical research and insights? Finally, the book sheds light on the review process, where to publish, reflective referencing and how to revise your writing.



Aiming to inspire academic writers and readers, while offering practical guidance, How to Write Differently will be a valuable resource for business and management researchers and students seeking to write in a new way.

How to Write Differently Reviews

Nanni Moretti, the Italian film director, once said: those who speak badly, think badly and live badly. This masterly written book teaches us that this adage applies, and even more, to the written word. Academics have in their texts their most powerful weapon and sharpest tool. This book reminds us that we need to manage both with the deserved care and respect. -- Paolo Quattrone, The University of Manchester, UK
How to Write Differently: A Quest for Meaningful Academic Writing has much to recommend it to those researchers who want to produce engaging and valued publications rather than simply meeting the demands of being published. This book offers guidance as well as helpful examples for following a writerly path to academic success. -- Mary Jo Hatch, University of Virginia, US
How to Write Differently is a text which stands against scientific, rational, and masculinist writing. Written differently, the reader is taken on a journey into what creative writing can look like. Full of possibility, alterity, solidarity, and hope a must read for anyone curious and interested in writing, reading, and publishing. -- Alison Pullen, Macquarie University, Australia
