June is Thesis Month

Summer is when universities wind down. Supervisors disappear. It is the time of year where the structure becomes harder to find and maintain. This June, two live events run side by side: a four-week course with one of the world's leading authorities on thesis writing, and our acclaimed Thesis Bootcamp, where the average participant writes 13,500 words in four days.

Summer Thesis Bootcamp

Draft a full thesis chapter in four days.

Join 25 other late-stage PhD students for a structured, intensive writing weekend. You plan your chapter beforehand with expert guidance, write thousands of words over four days, and reunite for an editing workshop afterwards.

The average word count is 13,500. The highest is 39,000. Most participants arrive doubting they can write 5,000. They leave having written three times that.

What participants say

Questions you might have

Can I do both events?
Yes. They run in parallel and complement each other. Book each one separately.
Which one is right for me?
Writing up and need to produce a chapter draft? The Bootcamp. Mid-stage with material but your chapters are not coming together? The Mid-Game Course. Not sure? Book a free discovery call and we can talk it through.
Do I need to be at a specific stage?
The Bootcamp is designed for late-stage students with a chapter to write. The Mid-Game Course is for anyone in the middle stages who needs to turn accumulated material into structured chapters. You do not need to be mid-draft for either.
I am not based in the UK.
Both events run live on Zoom. Mid-Game Course runs 9:30am to 12:30pm UK time. Check the time difference for your location before booking.
What if it is not worth it?
Both events come with a double money-back guarantee. Attend the sessions, do the work, and if you do not think it was worthwhile, let us know within 14 days for a double refund. No other terms. We have never had anyone claim it.
