Have you been waiting for an invitation to work on your dissertation? Dr. Wendy Carter-Veale is your “Head Coach.” We cordially invite you to join us on our Dissertation Writing blog! You’ve arrived at the right place. This is your page for making the most of your time here. You can finish your dissertation in 2022 if you make daily progress.

To begin, we’d like to congratulate all of our recent PhD graduates!

You can participate in the online Dissertation Writing Retreat from anywhere in the world. Students from various states in the United States and countries around the world attend the Dissertation Writing Retreat (DWR).

Our pre-registered participants are required to blog daily during their time at the Dissertation Writing Retreat and are encouraged to continue doing so until their dissertations are finished.

Introduce yourself by leaving a comment below (name, school, department.) You may use your real name or an alias. If you have a blogger ID, you may use it, but you do not need a username or password to participate.

Inform us about the project you’re working on and your objectives for today or the next few days. Blog every day, preferably twice a day (morning and afternoon/evening), to report on your daily goals, daily accomplishments, and daily goals for the next day.

We’ll repeat something we said before because it’s both important and true: Our graduates and participants pushed themselves (literally) to finish sections, get advisor approval for chapters, finish drafts, pass proposals, pass defenses, and turn in their final documents. These graduates have gone on to become professors, work in non-profit organizations, industry, and government agencies, and hold postdoctoral positions all over the world (e.g., France, South Africa, Egypt.)

Please return if you previously joined us and are still working on your document. We’re still here, and we’ll stay a part of the community that will support you! Make a list of your four-month goals and post them on this page. Online, you are not alone; this is your community. Concentrate on completing the task. “A good dissertation is a done dissertation” says coach Dr. CV.
