Rezensionen

"As series editor I could not wish for a more perfect book that is the first authored adventure to complement the edited volumes in the series. This book is your best friend. It gives permission for you to reset and reconnect to calming and soothing ways to explore your writing. It's personal, relatable, oozing with strategies for your wellbeing and self-care and helps you re-think your writing. It simply is a gift."

Narelle Lemon, Professor of Education, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia

"This is the best book on writing up research I have ever read, I understand why some writing approaches can't work for me, and like Katherine recommends, I won't feel guilty (anymore) about being non-linear and picking flowers along intriguing byways Because I do seem to get there in the end."

Danielle Terceiro, PhD student publishing articles about picture books and graphic novels for a PhD by publication.

"This book will be a vital guide for postgraduate researchers, irrespective of their subject dis cipline, mode of study or where they are at in their writing project. Academic staff who are responsible for the facilitation of workshops or for providing writing spaces aimed at doctoral researchers will also benefit from this text, as they can implement the exercises contained within. Researchers investigating the wellbeing of doctoral researchers will also find this book appealing due to the signposting of further sources that are presented within "notes" boxes after the different sections of the book.
