Review Quotes:
"Here is the handbook we've been waiting for. Rather than urge us to combat imposter's syndrome, this terrific book works with anxiety as part of the academic experience, giving us new tools for thinking, writing, and publishing about literature. Grounded in Manizza Roszak's own journey, but also drawing on the experiences of others, this book covers topics from foundational practices of discovery to working in diverse genres to the connections between writing and teaching and the importance of self care. An indispensable resource for students, early career researchers, and seasoned scholars alike."
