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.

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!

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.

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.

perfect for starting a research group
I just started my research group at an R1 institution and this has saved me from having to explain all of these concepts over and over again to my students. It is one coherent resource that pulls together a lot of things I had to learn through trial and error in my PhD. So sure, you as a PhD might already have learned all (or most) of these things, but I guarantee this book and the associated resources are put together in a more coherent way than most academics could do (in all of our free time). If you are starting a PhD research group, I can't recommend it enough.
