I am the Professor of Cultural Studies at Flinders University. I have written 22 books, 11 audiobooks, over 350 refereed articles and book chapters, and over 600 research outputs. I have podcasted since 2008 and vlogged since 2016.
Tara Brabazon's latest book will be a fundamental inclusion to any budding PhD student, wherever they are in their journey. Starting with the audiobook, Tara easily provides justification and reassurance for why students should use her ten drafts to completion. Each chapter aligns with a particular task that students will want to complete, either with their supervisors or alone. The paperback version of the book is easy to read and helps clarify in the reader's mind what was discussed during the audio version. It is not necessary to buy both; however, they complement each other in providing a practical guide to a stressful event at the end of a candidature. This book will also be very helpful for students or other writers who wish to submit a book to a publisher in the future. I highly recommend Tara's Ten drafts to complete your PhD.
