Reviews
"Working with Dr. Jen for just a few hours had a profound impact on how I prepared for my defense. She offered invaluable resources and guidance that helped me approach the big day with both efficiency and confidence. I learned not only what steps to take but also how to manage my time effectively throughout the process. One of the most meaningful takeaways was her emphasis on self-compassion. She encouraged intentional rest and reminded me to trust in my readiness. I highly recommend the Defense Training Course with Dr. Jen and Read Write Perfect. Dr. Jen is incredibly kind and genuinely committed to helping women feel prepared, confident, and empowered to succeed on their defense day!"

KirstyDoctoral Student | Forensics and Criminology
"Her competence was evident in every conversation, beginning when I first contacted her because I was stuck on my second dissertation chapter. I was struggling because my writing processes had been sufficient for writing quality papers but not for a dissertation. Dr. Harrison helped me rework my outlining and writing methods, and I went from spinning my wheels for an entire year on my second chapter before contacting her to finishing that chapter and completing my PhD in the following year. She was very effective, encouraging, and easy to work with."

A huge thank you to Dr Harrison and all my scholarly sisters for the accountability and companionship!"
HannahDoctoral Student | Humanitarian Studies
"I was wrestling with my dissertation for years when I finally broke down and sought outside help. I struggled to find a coach who made me feel safe or comfortable enough as a queer and trans person using auto-ethnography, mining some of my most challenging moments to piece together my argument. Jen has provided a safe space to land and has quickly and kindly helped me untangle the knots that kept me from progressing with my dissertation. I feel confident in the direction my dissertation is going and recommend her quick mind and gentle hand to anyone in my community stuck in the mud with their dissertation.
