“I have been drawing upon Rowena’s work and this book specifically for many years now, both in my own thesis writing as well as with the students I now support. This is a fantastic and most welcome resource as the new chapters on AI and neurodiversity, as well as further developments and resources on other sections bring it right up to date. Not only is it a very informative and useful resource, it also provides lots of excellent tasks and tools to employ that are a significant benefit to the writing processes at this level.” Joseph Allison, Lecturer in Clinical Education and Visiting Specialist, Plymouth Peninsula Medical School, UK “A must read for students and supervisors alike! This book has become a brilliant companion to navigating the complexities of academic writing. Writing my own thesis often felt like climbing a mountain, but Rowena’s book became my map. Packed with practical advice, support, and confidence-building strategies, it helped me reach the summit!” Michelle Smith, Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology, University of Stirling, UK “The first edition of How to Write a Thesis was essential in my own PhD journey, providing a comprehensive oversight of thesis requirements that demystified the complex process of academic writing. Twenty years later, the latest iteration of the book remains vital reading. A must-buy book for PhD students.” Martin A Sharp, Director of Postgraduate Research, Edinburgh Napier University, UK This fully updated edition of the classic guide to thesis writing will help you to write your thesis and make the most of the experience. It will also be useful for supervisors who want to help students develop their writing skills and strategies. This book breaks the writing of a thesis down into manageable tasks, offering routines for productive writing and drawing on research in different fields to help you discover the strategies that work best for you. Arguing that social writing activities such as writing retreats are key to getting started and staying motivated, this book will equip you to write regularly, maintain your confidence as you write and revise, respond to feedback, and create a community of writers as you go.
