The book offers important insights into the challenging yet rewarding 
journey of undertaking a PhD. Written by students, for students, the 
book explores a range of case studies from creative arts and humanities 
doctoral students, embracing a cognitive, emotional and transformational 
metaphor of the journey. The volume is organised around themes and 
concerns identified as important by PhD students, such as building 
resilience and working with supervisors, and includes personal stories, 
case studies, scholarly signposts and key take-away points relevant to 
all doctoral settings. With perspectives from all stages of the doctoral 
journey, this book is sure to become a valuable support to students and 
supervisors alike, as well as those working in research education and 
training.

'This book is a rare example of students drawing on – and talking back 
to – the education literature on PhD students. Although this book is 
deeply practical, offering many strategies and ideas for people engaged 
with doctoral education, it is also deeply thoughtful. For this reason 
alone it deserves a space on every academic supervisor’s shelf – and in 
the libraries of enterprising PhD students.' */Associate Professor Inger 
Mewburn/*/, aka _The Thesis Whisperer_/
