Much of this blog is about academic writing, and there is a lot of it.
I do intend to package these posts up in some way but am still trying to sort out how best to manage this.
In the meantime I’ve put some external sources and a few links to some posts here.
Writing resources
PhD 2 published a site devoted to provision of writing advice and links
Lingua Franca – a blog about academic writing
explorations of style – academic writing blog from Canada
scientific academic writing – a magazine and blog from Marialuisa Aliotta
Writing across boundaries project
Some relevant blog posts:
Using metacommentary to specify your contribution
learning from writing practice
finding the right writing time/place
I’m looking for resources on collaboration in writing for publication (co-authoring). Any suggestions?
Research whisperer blog has two posts on it. http://theresearchwhisperer.wordpress.com/tag/co-writing/
An article here http://www.springerlink.com/content/p0867n5746730504/
Barbara and my new book out in August has a chapter where we interview collaborating writers and draw up some principles, we found another australian source which I’ve forgotten but will post here in a few days when I see Barbara. We’d noted the topic as a space needing more conversation too.
John- Steiner, v (2000) creative collaboration. New York. Oxf univ press.
S Ritchie ed research collaboration. Relationships and praxis. Sense.
Ritchie Also has article in qual studies in ed 13(1).
I wouldn’t say these meet what you’re after, but they do address the topic

Dear Pat,
Many thanks for including my magazine and blog in your writing resources.
Please note that I recently moved my blog site to http://www.marialuisaaliotta.wordpress.com
As a result, the link to the Scientific Academic Writing magazine is now:
http://marialuisaaliotta.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/scientific-academic-writing-new-edition/
Could you please amend it in your list?
Many thanks!

Dear Pat
Really enjoy dropping into your blog from time-to-time. I always take something useful away. But I have a problem and it is to do with style. I never seem to be in control of my tenses when I am writing. When I write I seem to drift from present to past and back again like an itinerant time-traveller. I would be grateful for any advice you can offer.
Steve
Hi Steve
I’ve had a go at tense. Not sure how helpful it is, but maybe well get some comments that add more. Pat
Thanks Pat- enjoyed your book (and enjoying your blog). Can you recommend any advanced academic writing courses for research & academic staff ? Many thanks. Jen
