Aitchison, Claire and Cally Guerin: Writing groups for doctoral education and beyond: Innovations in theory and practice (Abingdon: Routledge, 2014)
If you're interested in starting up a peer writing group this is a good resource to find out about various models.
Kamler, Barbara and Thomson, Pat: Helping Doctoral Students Write: Pedagogies for Supervision, 2nd edn (Abingdon: Routledge, 2014) [edit]
Helpful resource for supervisors, strong on helping your students to create a personal voice through their writing (whether writing in first or third person), navigating the literature review and analysing elements of doctoral writing. I'm trialling strategies from this book in the Doctoral Writing Group.
Thomson, Pat and Kamler, Barbara: Detox your Writing, Strategies for Doctoral Researchers (Abingdon: Routledge, 2016)
If you just read one book on doctoral writing please read this - the title is a bit misleading, it's about more than detoxing - sections on how to go about a literature review, how to find your researcher voice are extremely useful.
Sword, Helen: Stylish Academic Writing (Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, 2012) [edit]
Useful on how to transform your writing into something other people might want to read (e.g. in a journal artcle)
