Submit Your Dissertation in 90 Days Without Burning Out.
We don't offer traditional dissertation coaching. We run small, coach-led cohorts using a proven execution system that combines lean project management, writing psychology, and structured accountability so you produce consistent work every week and actually finish.
Apply HereSmall groups • Fixed deadlines • Real accountability
Finish your dissertation in 90 days. No excuses.
You're not at the beginning. You're not even in the middle. You're close.
Your research is done. Your IRB is approved. Your committee hasn't raised red flags. On paper, you're progressing.
But in reality? Writing has slowed down. Revisions are dragging. And "almost done" keeps stretching out.
Built for candidates ready to finish. Not to figure it out.
Who this program is for
- Doctoral candidates with IRB approval
- In good standing with their university and committee
- Have completed, or mostly completed, their research
- Already know what their dissertation needs to say
- Stuck in writing, revising, or finalizing
Who this program is not for
- Early-stage doctoral students still defining their topic
- Anyone without approved research
- Students looking for general writing advice or theory
- People who want flexible timelines or low accountability
Finishing a dissertation is not the same skill as starting one.
Being "almost done" is the hardest stage. Every delay now has real cost: delayed graduation, stalled career decisions, and mental fatigue from carrying something that should already be finished. The gap between you and submission stays open, even though you're close.
You don't need
- Another course
- Another productivity system
- More time
You need
- Structure under pressure
- Tight execution cycles
- Continuous correction
- A fixed, non-moving finish line
The coaches behind the sprint.
We were once exactly where you are now: overwhelmed, frustrated, but determined to finish. We became dissertation coaches because we wanted to be the kind of support we wished we'd had.
After years of working with doctoral students around the world, we built something different: a small team grounded in real mentorship, practical systems, and a deep commitment to helping our clients cross the finish line.

The 90-Day Dissertation Sprint
A system for executing dissertations using lean workflow, cognitive and behavioral writing methods, and coached cohort accountability. Small groups. Fixed start dates. One goal: a submitted dissertation.
Four phases. One goal. A clear path to get there.
"Submit in 90 days" is not a slogan. It's the structure. Every phase is mapped out so you always know what to do next.
Dissertation Audit & Milestone Map
You'll know exactly what's left and in what order. Most clients discover they're closer than they thought. The audit alone brings relief and clarity.
Live Group Writing Sessions
Structured writing sprints, not lectures. You write. We keep you moving. Momentum starts here and continues throughout the program.
Biweekly Draft Reviews & Feedback Loops
Every two weeks, you receive structured draft feedback from coaches and peers who understand the dissertation process. Real notes. Real improvement. Continuous progress.
Final Polish & Submission Readiness
Formatting, references, front matter, and submission checklist. You'll know when your dissertation is truly ready. No second-guessing.
How the 90-Day Sprint works.
A highly structured, execution-focused program designed to move you from "almost done" to submitted. Built for real schedules, but not passive participation.
Format
- Open enrollment so you can start immediately
- Asynchronous, so you don't have to wait
- Weekly coach-led calls
- Multiple cohort accountability calls every week
- Personalized feedback from professional dissertation coaches
What to expect
- Daily and weekly submission requirements
- Consistent engagement inside the program
- Customized dissertation audit, milestone tracker, and weekly draft reviews
- Direct email correspondence with professional dissertation coaches
Support that actually moves you forward.
Most programs give you information. This gives you targeted support tied to your actual dissertation.
You'll receive:
- Direct feedback on your writing and revisions
- Ongoing correction to keep you aligned with submission standards
- Guidance based on where you're stuck, not generic advice
What happens at the end of 90 days.
You are not "making progress." You are finishing.
By the end of the Sprint, your dissertation is:
- Fully written
- Revised to meet committee expectations
- Structurally complete
- Ready for submission
From stuck to submitted.
A few words from doctoral candidates who stopped struggling alone.
"I have been working with Dr. Amy Murdock for several months in writing my dissertation. Her guidance has been phenomenal, often teaching me concepts in down-to-earth terms. Academic writing can be a challenge and Amy has helped me find and articulate my academic voice. Amy is a must-have in the graduate journey."
"Everything about my experience was great, from Dr. Shaeffer's expertise, to her patience and flexibility. I reached out after receiving a 78 on a midterm paper. Not only did I get a 100 on my final paper in the same class, but I haven't received a mark less than A+ since."
"I had been struggling with the first 3 chapters of my dissertation for over a year. I finally decided to give coaching a try and it made a huge difference. Alexandra provided helpful suggestions along with edits that transformed my paper. My advisor was very impressed."
You might be thinking...
The Week 1 audit shows you exactly where you stand. Most people are closer than they think. Seeing the real picture, instead of the version your anxiety has been telling you, is one of the most powerful parts of the programme.
The method is discipline-agnostic. We coach the process, not the content. That's your supervisor's job. Your peers in the cohort often give better writing feedback than supervisors do, because they're reading it fresh with no assumptions.
Two live hours a week. Everything else is async. Miss a session and catch up with the recording. That's less time than one bad writing day spent staring at a blank page.
Good. This complements that, it doesn't replace it. Supervisors handle content. We handle momentum, structure, and the psychological weight. They're different jobs, and most universities aren't set up to do both.
Do the work. Finish, or we keep going with you.
This program is designed to get you to submission in 90 days. But we also know this: even with the right system, execution matters. So we've built in a clear guarantee.
- Follow the program structure
- Participate consistently on a daily basis
- Meet all submission deadlines
- Stay actively engaged throughout the 90 days
...and you are still not finished:
No shortcuts. No passive participation. This only works if you do. But if you do the work, you will not be left unfinished.
Being "almost done" is the hardest stage.
Every delay now has a real cost.
- Delayed graduation
- Stalled career decisions
- Ongoing mental load
- Another year of this
Investment
A 90-day guided sprint to take your dissertation from stuck to submitted, with a cohort of graduate students who actually get it.
- 12 weeks of live group sessions
- Dissertation audit and milestone map
- Async draft review and feedback
- Submission readiness checklist
- Community access included
- The Done Guarantee
A single postponed semester costs $3,000 to $9,000+ in tuition, living costs, and lost earnings. The sprint is priced well below the cost of being stuck for one more month.
If you're close but not finishing, this is where that changes.
Start now. Finish in 90 days.
