Accessible, insightful and a must-have toolkit for all final year doctoral students, the founders of the 'Thesis Boot Camp' intensive writing programme show how to survive and thrive through the challenging final year of writing and submitting a thesis. Drawing on an understanding of the intellectual, professional, practical and personal elements of the doctorate to help readers gain insight into what it means to finish a PhD and how to get there, this book covers the common challenges and ways to resolve them

Focusing on contemporary novels from India, North America, and the UK, this study analyzes the representation of work and workers through detailed readings of authors like Douglas Coupland and Aravind Adiga. It addresses pressing questions of modern life by exploring how fictional narratives reveal the experiences of insecurity and precariousness in today's society. By engaging with recent theories about work, the book underscores the novel's role as a vital medium for understanding the significance of work and our emotional responses to it.

Prioritising wellbeing alongside academic development, this book provides practical advice to help students write well, and be well, during their PhD and throughout their career.
