Beyond Black and White would like to throw some shine on one or our own, Phillgirl, who not only recently successfully challenged her PhD dissertation but has also published a book to help others do the same.

Karlin Burks is a perpetual student and is fully committed to the idea of life-long learning. She has always dreamed of becoming a published author and has finally made that dream a reality. After successfully writing her dissertation, Dr. Burks used those same skills of being disciplined, passionate, and fearless to write her first book.

Karlin’s book, The Procrastinator’s Guide to Successfully Completing Your Dissertation: 10 SUCCESS Tips to get you to Doctor, is written for graduate students attempting to conquer the dissertation process. She truly believes in the notion of people striving for their ultimate dreams and is dedicated to writing books that uplift and inspire. Her life’s motto is “DREAM BIG” and she is doing so by fulfilling her life-long dream of becoming a published author.
