English is a lingua franca in many areas, including academia, where writing is central to an academic career, many prestigious “international” scholarly journals require authors to meet high standards of written English, and (often expensive) editing services abound. Developing academic writing competencies should consequently be fostered within higher education; this is, however, not always the case. Christian Wymann offers valuable advice to new academic writers of all disciplines via the volume Mind Your Writing.
