Routes of Writing

Great academic writing seems to tickle our brains without lifting a textual finger. But scholars work hard to refine their writing. Polished writing takes considerable time, measured thought, and the critiques of peers and colleagues.

The Routes of Writing project gives insight into the writing practices of McGill academics. Professors and librarians from across the disciplines offer their reflections on writing processes and critical thinking.
