When Sword's 2017 book Air & Light & Time & Space: How Successful Academics Write, Professor Inger Mewburn, said "Helen Sword is, hands down, one of the best writers on academic writing working today.
A new book from Sword is a nerdishly exciting moment for research educators like me and always an automatic buy.
The society described Sword as "a world-leading expert on academic writing across the disciplines.
As an international authority on modernist poetry, she has published books and articles that have expanded our understanding of the contradictory cultural and aesthetic forces at work in the poetry of twentieth-century authors including Yeats, Eliot, Lawrence, H.D.
Her ground-breaking scholarship on academic writing has been praised by her peers for its rigorous evidence base and its skilful integration of theory and practice.
