From being mediocre to being confident
I purchased Martin's books: Books 1,2, and 3, which have all been instrumental to my progress as a student. I have used many "quick fixes" to my presentation and visualisation flaws in the past, and none seemed to get me from a B+ to an A student in research projects till I came across these books.Now, I am more confident and "telling my stories" at a conference than I could in the past. I am now more discretional in what visuals I display, both in my writings and speeches. My analytical skills have also increased. In short, these books have put me in the minds of my readers and listeners, and I can now meet their expectations.Two days ago, I purchased Martin's " Write a Winning Research Proposal" from Amazon, and I am hopeful that once that book arrives, its addition to my library can only make me a high-flyer.

Straight to the point
I am writing my first article, and I found the book very useful and straightforward. I was looking for something that would list the different steps of writing a manuscript without sharing too much extra information. The book has all I need at this point.

pretty basic
The advice in this book is pretty basic. It is perhaps useful for new graduate students, but even then, most of the advice is either obvious or is something other beginning grad students might tell you. There are many other books on academic writing that will be a better use of time.

A great reference for academic publishing AND career
This book is a great guide for academic writing. The advice is practical and fun. There are great nuggets of advice/research into how the academic publishing works, and it’s field-agnostic. It’s not just a guide for writing, but a guide for kick-starting a career in academia. Highly recommend!

DO NOT BUY!!!! Waste of money.
This is nothing more than a below average high school level instruction book. A serious joke, don't waste your money or time with this fraud.

Excellent work!
I am a Grad student at UIUC, and my research is focused on Flexible Pavements. I am happy to share that I have finished reading your first two books. Firstly, thank you! You have done an excellent job.I read a tweet a few years ago, "140>280." I had a hard time interpreting what it actually meant. Then I went to one of the explanations, and the idea was about "simplicity." Twitter had 140 as the tweet limit earlier, and now it has been changed to 280. If you can say something with fewer words, in a simple manner, and accurately- that goes a long way.Since that day, I have searched for such authors/people who have this art of breaking down complex things, and you are one of them. Glad to see that you work in the same industry. I wish you all the best. Keep up the excellent work!
