Academic Writing and Publishing Publishing and Scholarly Communication Discourse Analysis in Language Studies

Abstract

Few papers have been published that describe how authors go about writing book reviews. This article provides an account of the procedures used to write one specific book review. Examples are given to illustrate what is basically a three-stage procedure: making notes; creating a rough draft; and polishing the final version. Some comments on the language of book reviews are included.
