Each year, over 55,000 people write, defend, and submit their research dissertations, earning doctoral degrees, according to the Survey of Earned Doctorates, conducted annually by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).

Each year, over 55,000 people write, defend, and submit their research dissertations, earning doctoral degrees, according to the Survey of Earned Doctorates, conducted annually by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Many more doctoral students, however, lag behind their peers in their courses of study and about half of doctoral students never finish their programs. This is often because the process of completing doctoral research, writing a dissertation, and completing a successful defense is extremely difficult, lonely, time intensive, and rarely lucrative. Doctoral students write dozens of papers but nothing of the scope, length, and level of a dissertation. It's why so many students get stuck and never complete their degrees. At this stage, students must navigate the conventions of academic writing in the field and incorporate the hundreds of pages of guidance in their style manual at the same time they are conducting what is usually their first extensive research project. Sometimes they don't even realize they're unfamiliar with the expectations of academic writing until they submit their document and receive a long list of needed revisions. That's often when they search out someone like me. While one-on-one editing support can be incredibly helpful, it's not always accessible. In my years of academic editing, I've found I am constantly offering the similar-often identical- feedback, regardless of a student's program or institution. In this book, I share the most common expectations and issues in academic writing at the doctoral level and provide support for the writing process, specific to writing a dissertation in psychology, the social sciences, and education, which, according to the NCES, make up over 13,000 of those 55,000+ annual doctoral graduates. I break down academic writing conventions, explain which guidance (i.e., the institutional guidelines, style manual, chair, reviewer, editor) should be prioritized, and provide strategies to stay organized, motivated, and energized, using a warm, caring tone to encourage the reader and assure them they've got this. While there are other guides on writing and even some specific to dissertations, my focus is on the writing process and organization, which is the pain point for so many doctoral students.
