Frequently asked questions

How should daily word targets be set for a dissertation?
Work backward from the deadline, subtracting the days needed for editing and supervisor feedback. For a 10,000-word dissertation with 12 weeks: approximately 12 working days of writing at 800 words/day, leaving the remaining time for research, reading and revision. Most students write more than 800 words on good days and none on bad — the target creates a floor.
Is it really free?
Yes — no email, no sign-up.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes — print as many copies as you need.
