Routledge Writing Well and Being Well for Your PhD - Sustainable Academic Writing

This Routledge guide by Katherine Firth addresses the intersection of academic success and personal wellbeing for PhD students and early-career researchers. The book provides practical strategies for developing a sustainable writing practice that extends beyond the thesis, helping you maintain productivity without burnout. Covering every stage of the academic writing process-from initial planning and research through drafting, editing and polishing-it offers expert insights into managing the often demanding timeline of doctoral work. Rather than treating writing as an isolated skill, Firth integrates wellbeing principles throughout, recognising that how you write is inseparable from how you care for yourself. Whether you are struggling with procrastination, perfectionism or the emotional toll of academic writing, this resource equips you with both practical tools and the mindset needed to build a writing practice that sustains a long career in academia.
