"Fifteen minutes!" you say. "That's too good to be true!" Okay, author Joan Bolker admits she gave her book the title Writing Your Dissertation in Fifteen Minutes a Day to get the reader's attention. And she admits that it's unlikely you'll actually finish a dissertation at that speed. As she tells her clients, however, a mere 15 minutes is much better than no writing at all when they're stuck. As a clinical psychologist who cofounded the Harvard Writing Center, Bolker has helped hundreds of writers complete their dissertations. She offers suggestions on how to create a writing addiction so that you feel incomplete if you don't write every day and stresses the need to set reasonable goals and deadlines for yourself to keep from getting discouraged. She also offers strategies for dealing with both internal and external distractions and for fending off writer's block. Even more important is the advice on some of the more awkward issues related to dissertation writing, such as how to choose your adviser carefully. (For example, when faced with the tradeoff between a famous advisor who is inaccessible and a less famous advisor who is willing to make time for you, Bolker advises, "If choosing a politically advantageous, famous advisor makes it unlikely that you'll complete your degree, it's clearly not worth it.") The book even includes a helpful appendix for advisers that could become the basis for an honest discussion of what student and adviser can expect from each other. Throughout this excellent book, Bolker acts as a therapist, cheerleader, and drill sergeant, all rolled into one.
While some of the book's advice is of interest only to dissertation writers, much of the information--on battling writer's block, for instance--is valuable to anybody engaged in writing. Rather than being filled with rules defining how to become a great writer, Writing Your Dissertation in Fifteen Minutes a Day is about finding the process by which you can be the most productive--it's a set of exercises that you can use to find out more about you and the way you write. Along the way, you'll do a bit of writing. And that's what matters, especially when you experience writer's block--as Bolker says, "Write anything, because writing is writing." With its helpful advice and supportive tone, Writing Your Dissertation in Fifteen Minutes a Day should be required reading for anyone considering writing a dissertation. --C.B. Delaney
Book Description
Expert writing advice from the editor of the Boston Globe best-seller, The Writer's Home Companion
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 defending the thesis, and on life and publication after the dissertation. Bolker makes writing the dissertation an enjoyable challenge.

Good Motivator.......2007-07-03
It didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know but it provides a good timeline and approach to get you motivated.
practical guide.......2007-06-05
When I was writing my own dissertation, I found this book to be very helpful. The notion of working on one's dissertation for fifteen minutes a day is not far out. However, when there is dissertation dread, it is hard to relish the idea of working daily on the dissertation. I found that by following that advice, I would think about the dissertation more and developed a friendlier relationship with the whole project.
The approaches to developing a process, to writing a first draft, to managing the advisor relationship, and to dealing with interruptions were all very helpful. I recommend this book highly to my friends and my clients.
Make a Mess then Clean It Up.......2007-06-03
For academic reasons I've been reading a fair number of these little writing guides lately. Most of them turn out to be useless you-can-do-it cheerleading or weak opinionating with little relevance beyond the author's personal experience. This guide by Bolker rises above the pack because it's based not just on her own personal writing but also on her extensive experience in counseling graduate students from all walks of life. Granted, the title of this book is all wrong, which Bolker even admits in her introduction. Writing a dissertation in just fifteen minutes a day is far from realistic, and Bolker advises that you work on it at least fifteen minutes a day. One truly unique aspect of Bolker's counseling for graduate school writers is her advice on how to beat writer's block. In her system, write anything at all, no matter how sloppy, just to stay in the game - and then clean it up later. Bolker also has a unique take on feeding your writing habit as if it were an addiction, with the threat of withdrawal symptoms that should be avoided. The only problem with this book is that Bolker extends her advice on the writing process into larger graduate school matters - topics that are useful, but too important and varied for the quick treatment they receive here. Stick with Bolker's knowledge of the writing regimen. [~doomsdayer520~]
Reduces the butteflies.......2007-05-14
Joan Bolker's personal experience makes this book a credible source and therefore useful reference for your doctoral arsenal. She has started and failed and started and succeeded in her quest for her own doctoral dissertation. The book outlines effective methods and ice breakers in beginning the dissertation process, the mechanics, and one's mindset for doing so. I recommend this book to anyone embarking on this journey.
Format's great and so's the reading.......2007-05-13
This book has good, sensible information to help a person start, re-start, or finish a diss. The reading is smooth and easy (versus that particular dissertation stop-and-go, read-and-reread style I hate so much). The book is clear and concise and straight-forward. Get one, read it, get to writing! :-)
Book Description
Authoring a Ph.D. Thesis involves having creative ideas, working out how to organize them, writing up from plans, upgrading text, and finishing it speedily and to a good standard. It also involves being examined and getting work published. This book provides a huge range of ideas and suggestions to help Ph.D. candidates cope with both the intellectual issues involved and the practical difficulties of organizing their work effectively.
Customer Reviews:
Invaluable!.......2006-01-06
I just defended successfully (yay!), after a serious revision, and this book was my guiding light. In all honesty I could have saved myself some serious time if I'd paid more attention to it sooner. It was particularly inspiring when I was first starting to get down on paper my first chapter... I think for anyone in that horrible phase where you have to much research and feel that you've lost your argument the book is an enormous blessing. It demonstrates how to structure a chapter, how to keep it readable, how to break down sections... It was truly my bible.
It also lays out the differences between British and US models, which is interesting to know for future reference.
Not a word that is merely psychobabble or self-help, but a straightforward and clear manual.
Excellent Guide.......2005-07-14
This book is an excellent guide for anyone in the process of writing a dissertation. Although he is writing from a British point of view, he takes care to make his advice applicable to the dissertation writer in the US university system as well. He discusses structure, drafting, editing, as well as how to prepare the diss for eventual publication.
The main achievement of this book is the idea that the dissertation writer is taking on another role, moving from *student writer* to *writer*. The dissertation propels the student into the position of colleague in training, and the writing is the vehicle for doing that. For the first time, thanks to this book, I have begun to look at myself as a writer contributing to the body of knowledge on the subject, not just a student producing yet another required paper to please a professor.
SAY IT ONCE AND SAY IT RIGHT .......2005-04-03
Authoring a PhD highlights lessons that I learned from Professor Dunleavy as a master's candidate at the London School of Economics. Several easy to understand but critical lessons are posed. First, superior organizational skill is key for any PhD student. This is initially conveyed through a seemingly trivial but ultimately useful example of how his study was organized as a proxy for the importance of precision and efficiency in structuring the PhD. Second, above all, persistence is important. In suggesting ways to "Keep the Faith" the PhD can be endured by sticking to the plan once it is developed, and trusting oneself to defend the research. Lastly, the pervasive tone of the book can be summed up as follows: "Say it once and Say it right" a mantra that Professor Dunleavy encouraged his student's to consider seriously and I have tried not always sucessfully to adhere to. These simple, yet straightforward messages that dominate the text, may be one of the reasons why, when I first tried to purchase the book at the 2003 American Political Science Association annual meeting, it was unavailable, having completely sold out. Happily, Amazon helped me resolve this particular dilemma so I could confront the critical real world issue of finishing my thesis.
Not for natural sciences.......2005-02-25
This book is mainly intended for the humanities and social sciences. I found the book rather hard to read. Long sentences and use of paranthesis is not really an effective style. Lots of text before the author comes to the interesting points. Who is interested in information like: "Most women like to give and recieve process-organized explanations, often running through the history of an event or an interaction from beginning to end in narrative succession. But most men prefer to recieve 'bottom-line' information first... Hence men easily get annoyed by what they code as women 'rabbiting on'." The author is surely not the one who gives bottom-line information first. He gives several comments like this one that are of no use when you want to know how to write a good thesis. The book is full of citations from writers and other smart people (which are highlighted), but the things you really want to know are hard to find without a lot of unnecessary reading. There are lots of books on scientific writing, just browse on and you'll surely find some better books.
My map through the maze of academic writing!.......2004-11-10
This book is an excellent guide to an under-addressed aspect of the PhD process: writing, structuring, and developing your thesis. The text fills a niche amongst all of the other `how to get your PhD' books out there, because it goes so far in depth into the authoring process.
Beginning to write your thesis is a daunting thing, and there seems to be a presumption that PhD students will know how to go about the whole procedure. But of course the process is complicated, intimidating, and not always clear-but this books provides an invaluable road map. Indeed it even offers guidance for after the thesis is finished, when you want to move on to publishing. Suddenly the impossible and mysterious looks reasonable and understandable. The book is full of clear guidelines and advice, useful tips, and wit which makes it very readable too. The text is structured according to the methods being recommended, which makes it very easy to read--and that makes you appreciate the soundness of what you are learning!
A book you will want to sit down and read cover-to-cover, and then keep on your shelf for regular referral back to throughout the entire PhD process!
Book Description
Here is the first book a prospective doctoral candidate should read. Updated to reflect both modern technological advances and the realities of contemporary academia, it serves as an excellent overview of the dissertation process in most academic fields. Advice starts with selecting an advisor and a dissertation committee, then covers problems connected with selecting a dissertation topic, submitting the proposal, working with an advisor, and writing and defending the dissertation.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent read.......2007-02-22
As I'm preparing my doctoral dissertation, I've read a number of books on the topic. This is the only one from which I was actually able to learn something. Most remind you of the obvious. This text goes beyond, providing checklists, concrete examples, and the answers to questions that most would be too timid to ask.
Very practical, organized guide for dissertation-writing.......2006-07-30
This is a very helpful little book. It is basic, and easy to read. It brings a sense of order and structure to the large concept of "go write your dissertation." This book will not do the dissertation research or writing for you, and it can't force you to complete each step of the project. But, it gives very practical, concise tips for each phase of the process. And excellent quick resource for those who are just starting the dissertation process. I think this book would appeal to linear thinkers--or people who need to be linear thinkers for the purpose of getting their dissertations done--as it is a very structured and organized book.
A decent overview, but not a text that stands alone........2004-08-28
Although written in 1997, much of the information in this book still provides a good overview of how to manage the dissertation, or even the thesis process for traditional students. Davis and Parker start off good by providing case studies of doctoral students in the first chapter; however, it is only at this point where such easy to relate to scenarios are presented. It is clear that this book was written with conventional students in mind. If you are an individual enrolled in a nontraditional program, for instance at a distance education institution, you will find that this book lacks pertinent information that pertains to you.
In addition, at some points, the text becomes overly mechanical making the read a tad bit dry, while not providing enough about other significant issues (e.g. the literature review, the components of the proposal, or the dissertation defense). As one would suspect, the information on technology is dated. What's more, the book lacks an index, which could make it a user-friendlier tool. Maybe Davis and Parker will rectify this in the next edition.
Despite these weaknesses, there is some very useful information that can be garnered from this book, such as its thorough discussions of working relationships with and selection of advisors and committee members, topic analysis and selection, page length, and tips for presenting the proposal. I would recommend this book to my graduate student clients as an introduction to the dissertation process, but not as a text that can stand-alone. If your goal is to really understand what goes into a dissertation, or thesis, in addition to Davis and Parker, you will need to read a more comprehensive text.
This book sets out the basics, like "do what you need to do".......2000-02-12
This book is helpful, if you have no idea about what it means to write a dissertation. It does provide an overview of all of the basics, like what it means to select a committee, and how many pages make an average dissertation. However, it is full of advice that boils down to, "do what you need to do" and "do it with integrity".
While it is a very compact book, and has lots of useful information, it's a bit like reading a style manual. Several books for social scientists are available (see Howard Becker), and some of the books that deal more with the psychology of writing (and staying motivated to write) the dissertation might be a better buy.
Probably the best buy.......1999-11-09
I have read several books on dissertation writing and this one seems to cover all the bases in the most concise form. However, I gave it only four stars because there is no guide to further reading, which I think is essential.
Book Description
Mastering these skills spells the difference between "A.B.D." and "Ph.D."-refuting the magnum opus myth-coping with the dissertation as obsession (magnificent or otherwise)-the fine art of selecting a topic-writing the dissertation with publication in mind-when to stand your ground and when to prudently retreat if the committee's conception of your thesis differs substantially from your own-dealing with obstructive committee members, and keeping the fences mended-how to reconsider "negative" findings as useful data-reviewing your progress, and getting out of the "dissertation dumps"-defending your paper successfully-distinguishing between mere formalities and a serious substantive challenge-exploiting the career potential of your dissertation-and much, much more

Excellent Survival Guide.......2007-09-11
This book is written mainly for those in social sciences who've begun work on their dissertations. It's comforting timely overview - while written a while back, still applies. It's practical guidance is both comforting and helpful -and will encourage any doctoral student who has begun the process.
This one's good.......2007-05-13
A not-too-lengthy, not-too-convoluted explanation of the dissertation writing process, including what is entailed, what kind of support you can expect (and not), and how to manage your own. What I especially like about this book is that its points seem to sink in later with me (whereas with most books, the points seem to evaporate later).
This is well written and of value not only to the dissertation writer but also to all those who have no idea what we're doing (but lots of opinions about our activities, just the same!
Worth skimming, but not owning........2007-02-02
The author wrote this in the 80's when the future of academia was looking a little bleak so I can forgive him some of his pessimism, but the book is rather dreary and has the principal effect of scaring away those considering a doctoral program (which is perhaps a good thing). The book has three critical flaws: it's 100 pages too long, it's dated (especially the material on computers and sexual harassment), and the author has the annoying belief that social science dissertations are the only "full" dissertations. By suggesting that his own field of Sociology is the most difficult field of study, the author alienates many potential readers and loses any claim of impartial observation. All of the useful gems of advice are covered in a shorter and more optimistic book written by Evelyn Hunt Ogden on the same subject. Read that one instead.
'The Politics of Education" and "EDUscam"........2006-01-10
Having been in the Business of Education for 29 Years; I know all too well the dynamics and inter-relationships between 'The Politics of Education' as well as 'Your Step-By-Step Guide to Academic Achievement and Acceptance.
And what is EDUscam. def.; "The Practice of Profiteering by U.S. Colleges and Universities.This occurs within this Billion Dollar Industry that is Education when a "Student-Customer"is 'bumped' [failed] from a respective course or Curriculum. This Practice is especially rampant among the Graduate (Master's Thesis and Doctoral Dissertation [Ph.D.]and yields hundreds of millions of Dollars for U.S. Colleges & Universities.
The Primary Target audience of this pernicious practice: Women and Minorities.
My name is Frank Boyd and what I have been speaking of is merely the tip of the iceberg...not at all far from what this author is saying, and I am more tahn available to share "ALL" the vicissitudes of 'The Politics of Education'.
While many "Student-Customers' are too frightened to even want to address this Brutal reality; the productive rationale evidences itself when the Student-Candidate (Both Grads & Undergrads)are made acutely aware of 'The Whole Story' and thereby Posture himself/herself to Academic Achievement and Acceptance and in what is by Far the most expedient way possible.
I would be honored by the opportunity to "Help" so Many Millions of College Students and Teachers Nation (even World) Wide.If you share this interest - Contact me.Much of this Review is based largely upon "The Politics of Education".

GREAT "office politics" for the PhD--Buy before you write your prospectus!.......2006-01-06
Do. Not. Be. Fooled. into the "truth and beauty" of the academic world ideals-- finishing and going from ABD to PhD is HARD. The ABD student doesn't need encouragement as much as warnings, in my opinion. I very nearly didn't finish for a variety of reasons, mostly work-related, but thankfully I successfully defended in December 2005. There are some other books that are better for the nitty-gritty of writing the dissertation (Authoring the PhD by Patrick Dunleavy comes to mind) but this book is a classic in terms of the many pitfalls facing the ABD student, many of which you really need to know BEFORE you are ABD.
The one piece of advice in this book that is worth the whole book itself is the warning to limit your committee to those who want you to succeed. I faced just such a choice at a certain period and thankfully I decided NOT to ask a person whose scholarship interested me but whom I did not trust to be on my committee. BOY, was I right! The fullness of time and the things he did to other people in the department, showed me the truth of that warning.
Not to be missed.

Balian Research Guidebook.......2006-02-10
I found the Balian Graduate Research Guidebook to be very useful primarily because of his practicle approach. The content is clearly written and approaches difficult concepts of quantitative and qualitative research methods. It even includes a strategy for defense of your topic. I am looking forward to a new edition of this guidebook. However, this guidebook is still very useful.
The not so practical research guidebook.......2000-06-27
I am a PhD candidate in Law and Economics. First Year. So, my needs are quite specific at this stage: I want a book which will give me very practical ways to develop a structure for what will one day perhaps culminate in a tome called my PHD.
The problem with this book is that it does not have much ambition. It is perhaps useful for STUDENTS OF SCIENCE beginning the Masters . First year; in other words fresh out of college.
I give it a very low rating because it offers one diagram about how to develop a graduate research structure; this diagram is then referred to in every chapter ad nauseum as if it was actually going to help the perplexed student in some way. The diagram is so basic that it made me wonder if I had drawn it-- in college. The diagram was useful to the extent that it told me things I already knew about developing a structure.
So, for those still reading: This book is not really meant for students who have tuned in to Amazon.com for the purpose of finding a GRADUATE level research GUIDEBOOK which is meant to help the researcher build a structure.
It doesn't ask the right questions to help the researcher ask the right questions.
Not worth the time spent rubbing your hands in anticipation for the book to land in your mailbox.

One of the best practical guidebooks available........1999-05-27
As someone who works privately with graduate students, helping them design and develop research papers, I highly recommend this book. It "demystifies" the research process. As the title states, the book offers a practical approach by anticipating and answering students' questions about the research process. It is one of the most practical guidebooks I have come across in recent years.
