The third edition of Monica Macaulay's Surviving Linguistics is a major update with new resources and expanded topics throughout the book. The book overall is about 50% longer than the second edition while retaining the focus on clear, practical advice that has made it such a trusted resource in the field. The book has lots of new practical exercises, as well as a new annotated bibliography of recent books and web resources.

The author has added a new chapter about jobs in industry, and the entire book is now more inclusive of a greater range of student experiences. Other significant added or much-expanded discussions throughout the book include:

• imposter phenomenon, parenting, and institutional resources
• professional presence, social media, and preparing for life after grad school
• LaTeX and R
• how to start participating in conferences
• diversity, equity, and inclusion
• new approaches to finding a topic and starting research
• AI
• writing prompts
• preparing and using slides in conference presentations
• conference poster sessions
• sources of grants and fellowships
• open access and predatory journals
• manuscript reviews
• depositing and publishing your dissertation
• preparing research, teaching, and DEI statements for job applications
• temporary academic positions and starting an academic job

"Playful and collaborative—this new edition is inclusive, inviting, and community-building. In giving us the guidelines for supportive and collaborative participation, Macaulay reminds us that community is built, and that we all can do our part in fostering and maintaining ours!"
--Anna Marie Trester, Career Linguist
