American Literature Professor Leonard Cassuto is here! His knowledge on academic writing made for a great conversation covering things such as outdated habits persisting against writers and how we can go back to treating writing like a form of communication rather than being commodities to make the world and readers "bigger and richer."
Leonard's latest book Academic Writing as if Readers Matter is out now! It's a witty and direct guide on how to take care of the reader as an elevated academic writer. Check out the link below to check out Leonard's website and purchase Academic Writing as if Readers Matter!
