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.

Your search has ended. Dissertation by Design has all you need to succeed.
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.

This has been an amazing service from start to finish
This has been an amazing service from start to finish. The tools that they provide are incredible and make the dissertation process simple and easy to understand. They are friendly and responsive. I will be purchasing another package with them. It may sound a little expensive, but it's totally worth it and the money you will be able to earn after your dissertation will make it even more worth it! My coach's name was Veronica!

Honestly
Honestly, the care, concern, and professionalism showed by Jessica and her DBD team is amazing. Every single one of our students that participated in our Saturday workshop with DBD reached out to me, letting me know how appreciative they were in our investment.
5 stars are not enough for the Dissertation by Design team and the services they provide to graduate students.

I needed this service
I needed this service. While I feel as though my ideas are strong, everyone needs a little help when working on a dissertation or long writing project. The team at Dissertation by Design was able to pinpoint me to the right level of service and got back to me right on schedule. The price was fair and the work was thorough. I will be definitely using them again in the future to help bring the project home.
