Writer Types, Writing Strategies: Introducing a Non-English Text, Schreiben und Denken, to a New Audience

This contribution aims to introduce a non-English text, a landmark study of cross-genre writing, to a broader audience. Schreiben und Denken (translated as Writing and Thinking ) was published in 2000 by Hanspeter Ortner, an Austrian linguist. Ortner identifies ten different approaches to writing that he terms “writer types” or “writing strategies.” The ten writer types are introduced and their benefits for writing center work are discussed.
