Dissertation Support

In partnership with the Graduate School, the UTA Writing Center is offering assistance to dissertation writers for Spring 2025. Dissertators can submit a section of their dissertation (up to 40 double-spaced pages) to be reviewed by our Executive Staff of graduate writing consultants. With each submission, our writing consultants will assist with matters of clarity, organization, style, and citation of sources, along with recognizing grammar and punctuation patterns that the writer should address in the draft.

In other words, consultants will not edit or proofread submissions; but they will offer writing/revision advice along with other resources in the final stages of the dissertating process. A comprehensive review with comments will be completed and returned to the student in 7-10 days. Students will be notified by the Writing Center Director or our graduate consultant if more time is necessary to comment on the submission. After the submission is returned, the dissertation writer can make a follow-up appointment (either face-to-face at the center or online), with the Executive Staff member in order to discuss the draft comments, establish a revision plan, and set up a submission date for the next section of the dissertation to be reviewed.
