When I contacted Dissertation by Design I knew my journey would change in a instant. There is something about having a dissertation coach that walks with you through ever sentence. We all know that in our programs we automatically have a dissertation chair, and access to the writing center. However, the thing that they don't tell you is that the services are limited due to the overwhelming amount of students they have to get through the writing process. Dissertation by Design focuses on you. The prices are reasonable and their follow through is priceless. I no longer have to feel alone in this journey. I have help! Their dedication to get me through this process makes a difference. If you are feeling the way I did, thinking of quitting your PhD journey, and don't understand what else to do with your 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/etc. draft...contact them right away! Invest in yourself. Their dissertation coaches are dedicated to enhancing what you wrote and getting you to the final phase. I am glad I contacted them! #graduation2020 #PhDready

Dissertation by Design matched me immediately to a consultant with whom I have professional experience and interests in common. Our initial meeting happened just days later. She helped me establish achievable action steps towards my goal and responded immediately when I had questions. So far, this has been a very positive experience!

Dissertation by Design has guided me through every step in the process. During coaching sessions my coach Veronica Richard will ask guiding questions to help with my research and move through the progression of writing. Every meeting I have with Veronica is tailored to my individual needs and we focus on areas that I need assistance with.

Veronica at Dissertation by Design has more or less saved the life I know. Metaphorically, she has helped me keep a sinking dissertation-tanker afloat in a hurricane. I am one of those students who never got taught (or never learned) writing well enough, but with agony in each paper still did famously in school. For three years I have been trying and failing at writing my dissertation proposal. I ran out of financial aid. Staggering principle and interest loom larger every day. I was running on fumes and still not succeeding. My university didn’t notice, have, or provide the resources I needed. Then my university made internal changes, and forced me to do a different proposal (not for feasibility reasons, yet to meet the changes they were making in my PhD program). Now, after nearly finishing my proposal in about 5 or 6 months, I feel as if I would have failed without Veronica’s support and guidance. She met me anywhere I was at, and didn’t hesitate to go above and beyond. Though I have been under pressure and duress, and going through other fairly tragic experiences trying to survive while I finish my dissertation, Veronica has helped me have fun writing again. She has helped me regain my motivation and enjoy the process with fascination. She has helped me nurture my love of being a scholar, and of being in the world as an inspired social scientist. After supporting me through this writing experience, I will always remember Veronica as a Forest Gump like coach for me, going back into the exploding jungle to find me and help me back to the shore. I’ll never forget it. Whatever success I have helping others in my career will be founded on what Veronica has helped me shape. I couldn’t have done it without you, Veronica. Thank you. I will always be grateful.
