Sommario/riassunto

This invaluable book covers issues such as working out the criteria for your thesis, writer's block, writing a literature review, making notes into a draft and much more. The author introduces practical writing techniques such as freewriting, generative writing and binge writing as well as what to do when you have the end in sight and when it's all over.
