Seeking insightful perspectives on writing, dissertations, and projects in general.
About Me
- Dave
- I'd love to hear from you if you find what I say interesting or helpful or controversial. I like ideas. Got a question? Please ask.
More About Me
Since 2002 I've been working with dissertation writers and other scholars as a writing coach, dissertation coach and editor.
As coach or editor, I have helped over 70 scholars complete their dissertations at universities including Stanford, MIT, Johns Hopkins, the University of Michigan, and the University of California at Berkeley. In 2010, Routledge published The Universe of Design: Horst Rittel's Theories of Design and Planning, of which I was the second author.
As a coach, using my knowledge of philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, and design theories and methods, I help scholars develop a writing practice that carries them through the difficulties of the writing process.
As an editor, I work to help writers express their ideas clearly, which sometimes calls for a high-level examination of content and structure, and other times for meticulous attention to grammar and stylistic conventions.
I've written my own book for dissertation and thesis writers: Getting the Best of Your Dissertation. If you find this blog helpful, you'll probably like the book too.
I've also written a book for dissertation writers (and other early career scholars) about using literature in the process of designing a research project, and writing literature reviews: Literature Review and Research Design: A Guide to Effective Research Practice. If you're struggling with a writing project, contact me. I can help.
