<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Expert writing advice from the editor of the Boston Globe best-seller, The Writer's Home Companion <p/>Dissertation writers need strong, practical advice, as well as someone to assure them that their struggles aren't unique. Joan Bolker, midwife to more than one hundred dissertations and co-founder of the Harvard Writing Center, offers invaluable suggestions for the graduate-student writer. Using positive reinforcement, she begins by reminding thesis writers that being able to devote themselves to a project that truly interests them can be a pleasurable adventure. She encourages them to pay close attention to their writing method in order to discover their individual work strategies that promote productivity; to stop feeling fearful that they may disappoint their advisors or family members; and to tailor their theses to their own writing style and personality needs. Using field-tested strategies she assists the student through the entire thesis-writing process, offering advice on choosing a topic and an advisor, on disciplining one's self to work at least fifteen minutes each day; setting short-term deadlines, on revising and defing the thesis, and on life and publication after the dissertation. Bolker makes writing the dissertation an enjoyable challenge.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Editor of the best-selling <i>The Writers Home Companion</i>, <b>Joan Bolker, Ed.D</b>., has taught writing at Harvard, Wellesley, Brandeis, and Bard colleges.
