Services

Because I am currently focused on providing broader dissertation, doctoral study, and thesis (research study) support through print and digital media to graduate students across the United States and worldwide, I am not offering long-term editing, coaching, and mentoring services at this time. However,  to support prospective,  current, and former graduate students who must still complete their research study and degree, I offer two types of private coaching and mentoring sessions. Please review the details below. 

Throughout this page, "former students" refers to students who started an academic program but did not complete it, whether they are no longer enrolled at their university or are considering a return to finish their degree. 

Service Overview

• Service 1. Research Study Review and Coaching Session, for current and former students. A developmental review of your research study, a written summary review letter, a 60- to 90-minute telephone coaching session, and a short action-item list afterward. See the full details below.

• Service 2. Consultation for prospective, current, and former students. A private telephone consultation with no document review. See the full details below. 

Service 1. Research Study Review and Coaching Session 

$350 base fee plus $0.03 per word.

Your word count is your document's total word count as reported by Microsoft Word, including references and appendices. After you send me your document, I will verify the word count and email you an invoice showing the calculation and your total. 

For current and former students.

I review your research study personally. I do not delegate this work to an associate or contractor. 

This service includes:

• A developmental review of your submitted research study document.
• Your research study document returned with my comments, along with a written summary review letter, both sent to you before our session, so that you can read my feedback and prepare your questions in advance. 
• A 60- to 90-minute telephone coaching session to discuss my feedback, provide guidance, and answer your questions.
• A short action-item list after our session, so that you know exactly what to work on next.
• APA 7th edition guidance specific to your document, if your program requires APA style. 

What this service does not include:

This service is a developmental review. I read your research study closely and comment on its direction, alignment, and structure. I do not make corrections in your document, so this service does not include line editing, copyediting, proofreading, or formatting.

I will also share guidance on how to vet and hire a reputable external research study consultant, so that you are not taken advantage of, and how to work effectively with that consultant throughout a long-term editing, coaching, or mentoring engagement. I will also explain how to use other specialized services when your study calls for them, such as those from a statistician or a qualitative methodologist. 

It is essential that you hire reputable external consultants. Unethical external consultants can cost you time and money. Please note that your university may have guidelines on the type of services you can use from external consultants. Therefore, I highly recommend that you review your university and academic program guidelines on the use of external consultants. You can also speak with your chair and other supervisory committee members about your plan to use external research study consultants so that you are all on the same page. 

What to do if you are interested in Service 1:

1. Email me at dr.rosedu@yahoo.com to let me know you are interested. Please include your full name, telephone number, time zone, the type of document you would like me to review, such as a proposal, a chapter, or a complete research study, and its approximate word count. If you prefer, you can call me at (571) 264-8095. If I am unavailable, please leave a detailed message, and I will return your call as quickly as I can.
2. I will reply to let you know whether I am able to take on your review and when I expect to begin. If I am able to take it on, I will send you the Research Study Review and Coaching Agreement to review and electronically sign. The agreement includes nondisclosure terms that protect the privacy of your research study document and any other documents you share with me. If you have any questions about the agreement, please ask before signing it. I am happy to answer them. 
3. After you sign the agreement and email it back to me, email your research study document to dr.rosedu@yahoo.com.
4. I will verify your word count and email you an invoice showing the calculation and your total.
5. You will make your payment using one of the methods on the Payment page. Please email me to let me know which payment method you used. I will email you a payment receipt that includes my business Tax ID number, which you can use for educational expenses on your taxes.
6. I will complete your review and email you your research study document with my comments, along with your written summary review letter. 
7. We will hold your 60- to 90-minute telephone coaching session, and I will send you a short action-item list afterward.

Service 2. Consultation

$125 per hour. The minimum session is 1 hour. Longer sessions can be scheduled.

Returning clients pay $105 per hour for consultations booked within 12 months of a previous session.

For prospective, current, and former students.

This service does not include a research study document review. It is a private telephone consultation covering your questions and concerns about your current or future doctoral or master's program, including your research study.

Topics may include:

• Starting an academic program and completing it successfully.
• Developing and narrowing a research study topic.
• Time management.
• Program and research study requirements.
• Hiring external research study consultants.
• Returning to an academic program you did not finish.
• Your rights as a student.

What to do if you are interested in Service 2:

1. Email me at dr.rosedu@yahoo.com to let me know you are interested. Please include your full name, telephone number, time zone, the days and times you are generally available, a general description of what you would like to discuss, and how long you would like the session to last. If you prefer, you can call me at (571) 264-8095. If I am unavailable, please leave a detailed message, and I will return your call as quickly as I can. 
2. I will send you the Consultation Agreement to review and electronically sign. The agreement includes nondisclosure terms that protect the privacy of any documents you share with me. If you have any questions about the agreement, please ask before signing it.
3. After you sign the agreement and email it back to me, I will email you an invoice for your session.
4. You will make your payment using one of the methods on the Payment page. Please email me to let me know which payment method you used. I will email you a payment receipt that includes my business Tax ID number, which you can use for educational expenses on your taxes.
5. We will confirm the date and time of your telephone consultation, and I will call you at the number you provided. 

You are welcome to book more than one session. Some students book Service 1 again after revising their research study, and others book Service 2 for follow-up questions after our session. The returning client rate applies to Service 2 consultations only, because each Service 1 review requires me to read your document in full.

Turnaround time, rescheduling, and refund terms are set out in the agreement. I am happy to answer any questions before you sign. 

I am happy to speak with you.

I am working to provide a wide range of print and digital media resources, including research study books, blogs, videos, podcasts, online courses, and more, to support graduate students' research study success.
