Viva Survivors Select 12

Viva Survivors Select is a series of curated collections of the best of the Viva Survivors daily blog, a monthly zine of viva help on a variety of topics and themes taken from almost a decade of daily posts.

Viva Survivors Select 12 is the Contribution Issue. I've collected twenty pieces reflecting on what it means to make a contribution to research, how to prepare to share it and what you can do to explore it at the viva with your examiners. I've also added two new pages of writing to expand on the topic and give new tools for unpicking what goes into a research contribution.

Both the covers and all interior art in this issue is made by me - and I'm particularly pleased with how the front cover for this one turned out. I hope you like it too!
