Finish your thesis faster, with less stress.

Thesis Boot Camp

Thesis Boot Camp is an intensive writing programme for late-stage doctoral students.

It supports participants to:

  • Achieve significant progress on their thesis draft

  • Address and overcome their writing challenges

  • Build an effective and sustainable writing practice

Not every ‘writing boot camp’ is created equal. The programme I designed in 2012 has been a game-changer for research higher degree students around the world. In the UK, it alligns with all four domains in the Vitae Researcher Development Framework.

My Thesis Boot Camp takes place across three days, bookended with pre-event preparation and post-event review. Throughout, participants are provided with the tools, time, and space to work towards their writing goals, boost their confidence, and (re)gain motivation and momentum.

Skilled facilitation is key to the success of Thesis Boot Camp. With more than a decade of experience delivering the programme internationally, I’ve refined and enhanced resources and approaches to ensure Thesis Boot Camp remains relevant, responsive, and continues to deliver the results for which it has become renown.
