Academic writing~

How do you improve your academic writing skills in English?

I was told several times that all of my writings are closer to literature style rather than to academic. Actually, I don't really mind. I like it that way. But, apparently, my teachers do. And, although I try really hard, I still have a huge list of problems with this :(

Maybe you can suggest some writers or textbooks from which I could learn? Or just some advice for a rookie writer who wants to master her writing skills, but still stuck in the earliest stages?

I would really appreciate that!

Good job! I don't think your writing sounds too academic. Actually, it seems quite natrual. But maybe too many commas :)

Nice to meet you!
