This book is designed to help in authoring a dissertation. The dissertation process can be an arduous task, but this step-by-step guide uses a published dissertation as its foundation. Writing a dissertation does not have to be a complicated process to complete. Consequently, this book will provide the necessary insights that can assist in demystifying the critical components of a well written and thought out dissertation. I wrote this book because I understand the significance of working towards earning a doctoral degree can be challenging to navigate. While on the doctoral journey, I went through the trials and tribulations of rewriting and rewriting until committee members and academic quality reviewers approved the chapters. Since completing the journey, I wanted to help others navigate the rigors of pursuing a doctoral degree. After talking with another doctoral peer, the suggestion was made that I should author and publish a book based on the quantitative methodology. As a result, this book provides step-by-step guidance on how I completed my dissertation. The significance of this book is that it gives detailed information on how to develop paragraphs, sections, chapters, which will eventually culminate in a completed proposal or dissertation. Since completing the doctoral journey, I thought to author this book was ideal timing, while the process of writing a dissertation was fresh in my mind. During the writing of this book, it was an exhilarating feeling because, as I thought about what to write, a multitude of memories were experienced. Some of the memories not so good, but others were great such as passing the dissertation defense and then being called Dr. Waddell afterward. I want to take the time to acknowledge everyone that was a part of my journey. There are too many people to thank by name, but they all know that I appreciate the support and assistance to become Dr. Carey D. Waddell. Finally, it is my sincere hope that with some of the step-by-step guidance from this book will help you become Dr. [insert your name].

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 defing the thesis, and on life and publication after the dissertation. Bolker makes writing the dissertation an enjoyable challenge.

This book is a significant step towards helping doctoral learners write better proposals and the final dissertation. The book walks the learner through all the sections of my dissertation and describes, paragraph-by-paragraph, how each section may be written succinctly and correctly. Although my original dissertation was a qualitative single case study, students can relate the step-by-step directions in the book to their own qualitative studies regardless of their specific research design. Although all learners pursuing qualitative studies would benefit from the book, those pursuing a case study design, or a descriptive design would benefit the most. If you are planning to use the thematic data analysis in your qualitative doctoral research, you will find this book most helpful. I also recommend that you get the 4-Step Thematic Data Analysis with MAXQDA textbook for the complete, step-by-step walk-through of how to analyze your qualitative data. In this book, Chapters 1 through 3 are aimed at those working on the Prospectus and on the Proposal whereas Chapters 4 and 5 are aimed at those working on the final Dissertation.

Conducting phenomenological research for dissertations can be an involved and challenging process, and writing it up is often the most challenging part. How to Write a Phenomenological Dissertation gives students practical, applied advice on how to structure and develop each chapter of the dissertation specifically for phenomenological research. Phenomenology is about personal experience and personal experience varies from researcher to researcher. However, this variation is a big source of confusion for new researchers in the social, behavioral, or health sciences. This brief text is written in a simple, step-by-step fashion to account for this flexibility and variation while also providing structure necessary for a successful dissertation. Broken up into chapters that follow each chapter of the dissertation, this text logically addresses the various parts of phenomenological research, starting with ensuring phenomenology is the right method for your research, writing the literature review, going through methods and results sections to analysis and discussion. The author, using experience gleaned from supervising phenomenological dissertations for many years, gives time-tested advice on how structure the dissertation to fit into more common frameworks, using checklists and tables throughout. Each chapter includes a list of helpful resources for students to use alongside this book with specific information on methods and research. Unique to this text is a chapter on creating your own phenomenological method which allows students to expand their viewpoints and experiment in future studies after the dissertation.
