Destination Dissertation

Sonja K. Foss is professor emerita of communication at the University of Colorado at Denver. She created and is co-director of Scholars' Retreat, designed to provide intensive, focused, and supervised writing time for dissertations, theses, and other writing projects. William Waters is associate professor of English at the University of Houston, Downtown and co-director of Scholars' Retreat.

Destination Dissertation literally changed my life. Sonja K. Foss and William Waters demystify the writing process by offering scholars a series of small, manageable steps to take along the journey that every doctoral candidate must take. This book is a gift to academia, and every doctoral program in the country should require its students to read it.
