About me
Hello, I’m James, and I’ve been helping PhD and Master’s students improve their thesis/dissertation writing since 2008.
It all started during my own postgrad studies in Montreal, where I ran my department’s Writing Centre. I worked one-to-one and in groups with students who wanted to refine their academic writing style and get maximum impact from their essays. I had a blast doing it. And I’ve been working with Master’s and PhD thesis writers ever since.
Work with me when you’re writing your thesis, and you get these simple promises:
-
I’ll bring the best out of your thesis writing, whatever the subject, whatever the topic.
-
I treat every client as the individual they are, with a bespoke service to go with it.
-
I won’t charge the earth, and I won’t let you down.
You can also check out the Guides section for years of academic writing experience distilled into a set of simple resources: from planning your thesis properly to getting your reference list right.
Undergrad essay-writer? There’s a free in-depth guide to planning your essays, too.

What's in a (Maker's) Name?
The term Maker’s Name comes from an unusual source: the game of cricket.
If you’re a batsman, coaches talk about the importance of showing the maker’s name (the branding on the front of the bat) when you move to hit the ball. It’s the ultimate sign of good technique.
Showing the Maker’s Name is what I'm all about when it comes to thesis editing. Just like the coach with the cricket bat, it’s my job to help you find the sweet spot of your academic writing.
Then together we’ll knock your thesis right out of the park.
