Dissertation Development & Academic Consulting
The path to a PhD is often lonely. Advisers—even very good ones—seldom have time enough to give the advice or feedback which helps students gain the confidence and clarity necessary for producing a completed dissertation. Moreover, many fields of study today suffer a narrowness of vision, disconnected from the broader academic and intellectual world.
By providing individual guidance at every stage of dissertating, Continuum can serve as a sounding board, external adviser, constructive critic, and editor, helping you to sharpen the vision for your dissertation, conduct the process of researching and writing with greater organization and precision, and provide a philosophical perspective which helps to situate the contribution being made by your work.
Most importantly, having someone who will listen to your thinking is absolutely invaluable for the PhD-seeking student. The dissertation is and should be concerned with a topic about which you care deeply. Because we care about the quality and integrity of the intellectual world, we care too. We not only want to see your dissertation completed, but we want to see that it is something worth being completed—something that truly advances the world’s understanding. Our commitment is to the truth and we wish to aid you in promoting it through the rigorous process of writing your dissertation.
We are also expert at providing independent academic consulting for projects of any kind, across both the sciences and the humanities: providing advice on research structure, writing clarity, and communicating your research to the public. As “outsiders”, we are able to view your work with a distance that can help to provide a much-needed perspective.
It is my pleasure to recommend Dr. Brian Kemple to students of humanities. He is willing to develop students at all levels to advance their academic knowledge and their professional careers… Brian tailored personalized classes to advance my knowledge in philosophy, business and understanding of complex concepts… I highly recommend Brian’s classes to those who aspire not only to improve academic knowledge but also to any person who wishes to improve one’s thinking and writing.

Indeed, in today’s academic world at large, consistent recourse to an independent consultant provides invaluable disinterested feedback on research, writing, and the general conduct of one’s intellectual endeavors. Having the trained ear of someone dedicated to quality thought, outside the competitive world of academia, may prove a great benefit to your work. Submit your inquiry below.
Methods
I would not have finished my joint PhD in Healthcare Ethics and Theology without Brian’s consulting. Within a week of contacting him, he had already read my 150 page draft and compiled a reading list. With his help, I added about 200 pages of content in a year & a half. You won’t find a better academic consultant, or a better price.

Every academic endeavor is as different as its author. As such, the program is specifically tailored to each individual. Depending on what works best for you, this may include nothing other than an on-going conversation; or highly-curated reading schedules and the assignment and evaluation of relevant short compositions to assist in the writing process.
Scheduling is highly flexible (including nights and weekends). We maintain only a small number of clients to ensure that we can give dedicated service to your dissertation projects.
Guiding the process of advisement, regardless of your discipline, we apply principles of semiotic analysis and resolution, which may not only enhance the internal coherence but also the interdisciplinary significance and practical applications of your work. This extension follows inasmuch as semiotics proves an inherently-interdisciplinary perspective.
Further, individuals will be questioned persistently so as to unveil their presuppositions and sharpen their knowledge.
