Proposal to defense, with the same person the whole way
A doctorate is a multi-year project with a committee attached, and the most common reason it stalls is not the research. It is that every stage gets read by someone new who does not know what the last one said.

The problem is almost never the research
Candidates arrive here at three predictable points. The proposal that keeps coming back from the committee with different feedback each time. The literature review that has become a summary of forty papers with no argument running through it. And the results chapter written by someone who is no longer sure what their own research question was.
All three are structural, and all three are worse when the person helping changes every term. A reader who has not seen your proposal cannot tell you that your methodology has drifted away from it, which is exactly the drift a committee will find.
So the model here is one named person across the whole project. They read the proposal, so they can tell you when chapter four stopped answering it. That continuity is the service.
- One named person from proposal through defense
- Alignment checked between problem, question, method and findings
- Committee feedback translated into a concrete revision list
- APA 7 across the full manuscript, including tables and appendices
What comes back on a chapter
Typically a 6,000 to 12,000 word chapter
- Your tracked document, with the reason written beside every change
- An alignment note: does this chapter still answer your stated question
- The committee objections we would expect, and where they will come from
- APA 7 corrections grouped by rule, across the full manuscript
- Authorship of every word. We do not write your findings
Where people bring us in
Proposal
Problem statement, purpose, research questions and significance, tightened until the committee can approve it rather than send it back again.
Literature review
Turning a summary of forty papers into a synthesis with an argument, and a gap your study actually fills.
Methodology
Design, sampling, instrumentation and analysis plan, checked against the questions you said you were answering.
Results and analysis
Qualitative or quantitative, reported so a committee can follow the inference from data to claim.
Data analysis supportDiscussion and conclusion
The chapter where candidates most often overclaim. Findings tied back to the literature, with limitations written as limitations.
Defense preparation
A mock viva with the questions your committee is most likely to ask, and practice answering the ones you are dreading.
How coaching worksFind the chapter you are actually stuck on
Every one of these is work on your own document, done with you, so that you can defend it.
By stage
- ProposalA researchable question, a defensible design, committee approval
- Literature reviewFrom summary to synthesis, and finding the gap
- MethodologyDesign justification and the argument chapter three has to make
- Results chapterComplete reporting, and keeping interpretation out of it
- Defense preparationMock defense against someone who has read the whole thing
Alongside the writing
- IRB applicationConsent, risk, data handling and modification requests
- Dissertation editingChapter by chapter, with the reason beside each change
Not sure where the problem is? Send the chapter and the feedback you were given and we will tell you what it is actually pointing at.
How a project runs
A scoping conversation
Where you are, what your committee last said, and what the next milestone is. Free, and it usually reframes the problem before any work is booked.
You are matched to one person
Someone with a doctorate in your field, named to you before you book. They stay with you rather than rotating.
Work runs stage by stage
Booked per chapter or per block of sessions, not as an open-ended retainer. You know the cost of each stage before it starts.
Alignment is checked every time
Every chapter is read against your proposal. Drift is the single most common reason a committee sends a manuscript back, and it is invisible from inside the chapter you are writing.
Priced per word, with the deadline as the second axis
A thesis is the longest document you will ever be graded on, and the edit is priced by how much of it there is and how soon you need it back.

10% off above 25,000 words, applied automatically. A 60,000 word thesis at the 2 week rate is $3,240 after the discount. Coaching on the writing itself is priced per session, from $145, and most candidates use both.
It has to be your doctorate
More than anywhere else on this site, this is the line that matters.
- No ghostwriting. We do not write your chapters, your proposal or your defense.
- We do not collect your data, and we do not generate results.
- We do not write your findings or your conclusions. Those are the contribution.
- Editing happens on a draft you wrote, and you approve every change.
- Coaching is teaching: we explain the method so you can defend it, because you will have to.
A doctorate is awarded for an original contribution that is yours. Work supplied by someone else is not a rules technicality here, it is the negation of the degree, and it is revocable years after conferral. Read the full policy.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. We read the one you wrote and tell you where it summarizes instead of synthesizing, where the gap you claim is not established by the sources you cite, and which committee objection is coming. You do the rewriting, which is also how the argument becomes defensible.
We can help you run and interpret analysis on your own data, and explain it so you can defend it at the viva. We do not collect data for you or produce results you did not generate. Data analysis support has its own page.
It is one of the most common reasons people arrive here. Usually the feedback is not contradictory: it is three readers naming three symptoms of the same underlying misalignment between the problem, the question and the method. Working out which one is the root is the first session.
Editing is per word, from $0.05, with turnaround as the second axis. Coaching is per session, from $145. Work is booked stage by stage so you always know the cost of the next milestone rather than committing to a project-length retainer.
Yes. A mock viva with the questions your committee is most likely to ask, built from your actual manuscript, plus practice on the ones you are dreading. It is the cheapest insurance on a multi-year project.
Tell us where the project is stuck
