Doctoral & Dissertation Writing Support
I guide doctoral students to develop, structure, and complete large-scale academic writing projects such as the dissertation or thesis, grad school applications, and publication in academic journals.
Consulting for the Doctorate
Are you in the midst of writing your dissertation or thesis, but having trouble getting to the finish line?
Do you want to publish in scholarly journals, but not sure where to start?
I support master's and doctoral students with the strategic planning and writing processes essential to completing large-scale academic projects. I help doctoral and other graduate students with grad school applications, developing a clear research plan, developing timelines, articulating research findings, structuring chapters, final-stage dissertation processes such as copyediting and formatting, and getting published. I also offer support to keep you accountable, focused, and productive.
Whether you are just getting started, feeling stuck mid-process, or need assistance in the final stages of copyediting and formatting your dissertation, I will help you move forward with confidence and momentum.
