In addition to our workshops, doctoral candidates have the opportunity to discuss their individual writing-related questions in a confidential meeting with a writing consultant. No matter whether they are at the beginning or an advanced stage of their dissertation, the individual writing consultation offers the possibility of addressing individual concerns and strengthening writing skills. The writing issues addressed here can, for instance, refer to:

  • Specific issues concerning the structure and organization of your dissertation.
  • The improvement of your personal writing style and academic style of expression.
  • Specific information on suitable writing techniques.
  • Assistance with writing problems, such as writer's block or over-commitment to writing.

The consultation is available to doctoral candidates of Philipps-Universität Marburg and is free of charge. Each consultation lasts 45–60 minutes. The consultation sessions take place by appointment at the University Library (Universitätsbibliothek) at Deutschhausstraße 9.
