Thinking through Writing is a short, practical manual that teaches reading, writing and critical thinking as one skill rather than three. It comes from years of teaching, including nearly a decade of Harvard's freshman expository writing course, and pairs short chapters with exercises and templates. It suits college students facing scholarly essays and anyone who wants to argue and write more clearly. Against separate writing guides and critical thinking handbooks, its draw is the combined approach plus interviews with working writers.

Thinking through Writing is a concise, practical manual for developing reading, writing, and critical thinking skills together. It is written for college students learning to write on scholarly subjects. Most books treat writing and critical thinking as separate topics, but this one covers them in tandem.
The book is organized into short, practical chapters. They cover thinking critically about yourself and the world, reading carefully and finding the literary support you need, writing clearly and persuasively, staying on point, and finishing your work cleanly. The authors draw on years of teaching critical thinking and writing, including almost a decade of teaching Harvard's freshman expository writing course.
The book gives advice on how to structure an argument, write for an audience, and work through writer's block and anxiety. It also offers tips for making your writing unique and personal. Exercises and templates help novice writers practice, and the book includes interviews with writers working today.
