Where do I start??

Where do I start??
I'm still in the prelim stage of thinking about a PhD...My question is : where do I start? Literature review? Contact potential supervisor? Sorry if this question has been asked a million times before!
Oh I'm in Australia and wanting to focus on English lit.
THINK OF AN AREA OF RESEARCH THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE OR A NEW INTERPRETATION THEREOF. THEN Contact Sup with it first. When you eventually start, the lit review will be the first thing /s/he/ gets you to do.

That's the usual way of things, discussion with a potential supervisor as to the merits of one's research proposal prior to application. Quite possibly the OP is under the mistaken impression that one is automatically accepted into a PhD due to qualifications, rather than to the contribution it would make. I would be interested to hear more regarding the masters-level publications too; it is also possible that they do not carry as much weight as the OP believes (e.g., self-published, non-PR perhaps?)

One tip would be to frame everything in positive language. If you can't find anything positive to say then your probably shouldn't be marking their work.

You've never heard of zero-hour contracts obviously.
question about consent Forms
That should be answered in her T&Cs, or ethics handbook. It's likely though that the results must be discarded- not because any harm has necessarilly been done but because the institution may not feel itself covered.
Need some advice please

Then he (the 'marker'- like a marker you have at school?) is at least assuming you understand English. Is that the query?
