Dear Dr. Shin:

Navigating the Doctoral Journey: A Handbook of Strategies for Success (Rockinson-Szapkiw and Spaulding 2014) is an excellent book that directly aligns with the stated purposes of your Higher Education Journal. Thus, as a doctoral student who has benefited from this text’s content, I would like to write a book review about this newly released resource. I noticed on the Higher Education Journal’s website that potential book reviewers are advised to check to make sure a book is available to be reviewed. Is anyone reviewing this book for your publication? Would you be interested in having this book reviewed? Are there author submissions fees? If so, how much are they?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Best regards,
