While admittedly a novice to academic writing, I have found the following texts helpful.
Matkin, R.E., & Riggar, T.E. (1991). Persist and Publish: Helpful Hints for Academic Writing and Publishing. University of Colorado Press, ISBN: 0-87081-227-0
Diamond, R.M. (2004). Preparing for Promotion, Tenure and Annual Review: A Faculty Guide 2nd Ed . Anker Publishing Co, Inc. ISBN 1-882982-72-X

There is a short lecture by Richard Sennett called: "How I write: Sociology as Literature" (2008), which I find quite inspiring when adressing a larger audience in academic matters.
I am sorry - I think there is no electronic version of Sennett's text available...
Here's some information I put together for doctoral students writing in English at WWU/University of Münster (Muenster), Germany:

(my website www.nataliestruve.de is under reconstruction, so to avoid ultralong links I used tinyurl.com)
Click at 'the book/read about' at www.nataliereid.com for a description of 'Getting Published in International Journals: Writing Strategies for European Social Researchers' (also available at www.nova.no/reid and www.amazon.com [not '.uk']). The book covers all the major aspects of academic writing in English, including not only contrastive rhetoric and why writing in English is so very different from writing in other languages but also grammar and style. The book also has a crucial section on journal analysis, without which one's chances of publication are minimal.
A number of academic institutions in Europe now have the book in their libraries and recommend it to their Ph.D. students. Whether you are European or not or a first- or second-language speaker of English, you will find the book extremely useful.
Nowadays students are luckier than before , with the flow of world widely information due to the internet ,they can find anything they need in any field simply by searching the web - unlike older generations when research work was difficult because references and sources were limited ,now just write your intended subject and in no time you get all the information required ,,you can survey the literature in minutes ,this new progress has helped scholars to achieve their destination and realize their goals .
