I HAVE TRAINED SEVERAL THOUSEND PHD CANDIDATES TO WRITE SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES OVER THE PAST 22 YEARS.

Hello, I am Martha Boeglin.

When I started writing my PhD thesis in Philosophy, I found myself completely paralysed for months by the fear of the blank page.

When I realised that this phenomenon is something almost every doctoral researcher experiences at the writing stage, I became deeply interested in the writing process itself.

I then made three major discoveries:

  • Writer’s block is normal.

  • There are many writing techniques that help you move past it.

  • The better you plan and structure your writing beforehand, the more fluent it becomes – and the opposite is also true: the less you prepare your writing, the more it will be full of obstacles and blocks.

And one more thing: fluent writing makes thinking more powerful.

This is how my passion for creative writing techniques was born.
With two important consequences: once I had dissolved my own blocks, I was able to write my thesis in three months, without experiencing writer’s block again.

Then, once I had obtained my doctorate, I created the Scriptoria writing workshops in 2002.

Their purpose: to make it easier to write a PhD thesis and the publications you need in order to obtain your doctorate.

Since 2002, I have led hundreds of writing workshops and trained around 700 PhD candidates every year in scientific writing – that is, more than 10,000 doctoral researchers over 22 years.

Over the past two years, I have developed a new concept that allows you to build a high-quality article more efficiently and without unnecessary pain.
