The July Reset

Don't Bring the Stuck Thing Into August

The Real Talk

The July Reset: focused writing, resume, and dissertation support with fixed prices, fixed scope, and fixed turnarounds. You know exactly what you're getting and exactly when it lands.

Let’s be real. It’s July. Half the year is gone, and that thing you promised yourself you’d finish by summer? Still open in a tab. Quietly judging you.

Here’s what I know after years of coaching writers and scholars: stuck is rarely an effort problem. It’s a capacity problem. You don’t need more discipline. You need the right support, at the right moment, with a clear finish line.

That’s what the Reset is. Four lanes. One month. Pick yours.

Whether you need dissertation coaching, APA 7 editing, academic writing support, or a resume and cover letter refresh, the July Reset gives you focused help with a clear finish line. Each tier is built for a specific kind of stuck, from a single document that needs cleaning up to a full chapter that needs a strategy.

The Four Tiers

The Resume & Cover Letter Refresh

Your experience is real. Your resume just isn't telling the story. I'll rework your resume and one cover letter so they say what you actually bring, in language hiring managers (and their scanning software) respond to.

You get:

  • Full resume revision

  • 1 tailored cover letter

  • 5-minute kickoff call

  • 48-hour turnaround from intake

$150
BOOK THE REFRESH: $150

The Dissertation/Chapter Strategy Intensive

For the scholar who's stuck at the thinking level, not the typing level. We spend 90 minutes together on YOUR document: problem-purpose-RQ alignment, chapter structure, translating that committee feedback into actual next steps. You leave with a written revision roadmap. Not vibes. A roadmap.

You get:

  • Pre-session document review

  • 90-minute working session

  • Written action plan within 48 hours

$500
BOOK THE INTENSIVE: $500

You wrote the paper. Now let's make sure APA 7 isn't the reason it comes back to you. A full formatting and revision pass on one document (up to 25 pages): citations, references, headings, tables, scholarly tone. Cleaned, corrected, and explained, so you learn as you go.

You get:

  • Line-level revision

  • Full APA 7 compliance

  • Plain-language notes on what I fixed and why

  • 5-day turnaround

$275

The APA Polish & Revision Package

BOOK THE POLISH: $275

The whole toolkit, pointed at your project for two weeks. Strategy session, hands-on revision support, async feedback while you write, and a check-in call to keep you moving. For the person who is DONE being stuck.

  • You get: Everything in the Intensive

  • 2 weeks of async document feedback

  • 1 follow-up call

  • Limited to 3 clients

HOW IT WORKS

1. Book your lane. Payment is due at booking. That's your commitment, and mine.

2. Complete your intake. A short form (and your document) tells me everything I need. Your turnaround clock starts the moment it's in.

3. Get unstuck. Your deliverable lands by a known date. No chasing, no guessing, no "circling back."

WHY WORK WITH ME

I'm Dr. Rahmatu Kassimu, professor, published editor, and the coach behind The WorkDesk. I don't just tell you what's wrong with a document; I get in it with you. Strategy, mentorship, implementation, AND editing. Most coaches pick one. I bring all four, because that's what actually gets people finished.

And here's a receipt I'm proud of: across my full sales history, I've never had a client request a refund. Not one. When people book with me, they get what they came for.

WHAT PREVIOUS CLIENTS HAVE SAID

I had the privilege of working with Dr. Rahmatu Kassimu as an external supervisor for my MBA dissertation, which was awarded a distinction. Her profound knowledge of the subject matter and insightful feedback were instrumental in refining my research.

— Morrisa Rogers

Dr. K has provided me with such excellent guidance. As you all may know, the doctoral journey is very stressful and psychologically taxing, but with Dr. K’s assistance, you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

— Dr. Lance Parker

I am grateful for Dr. K’s service, which has been a valuable resource throughout my journey.
It's heartening to know that there are tools available to assist me when needed to stay on track. I would highly recommend this service.

— Dr. Kimble Colbert

Dr.K. is so relatable and truly goes above and beyond to not only get to know every client she works with but she literally leaves no stone unturned for the editing services she provides. She has debunked my fears as I pursue my PhD, through not only encouraging conversation but also through her immaculate editing of any and every paper I submit. I cannot recommend her enough!

THE JULY RESET

FAQs

  • The moment your intake form and document are submitted, not at booking. So the sooner you send it, the sooner your reset lands.

  • Yes. Book the Polish and note your page count on the intake form. I'll send a simple add-on invoice for the extra pages before I start, so there are no surprises.

  • Quick gut check: is your stuck thing a document problem (it exists, it needs fixing) or a direction problem (you're circling and can't see the path)? Document = Refresh or Polish. Direction = Intensive or VIP. Still unsure? DM me. I'll tell you straight, even if the answer is the cheaper tier.

  • No, and you don't want me to. You author; I organize, strategize, revise, and coach. Your degree stays YOURS. That's non-negotiable.

  • Then we'll talk about ongoing coaching after your block ends. The Reset is designed to build momentum, and plenty of clients keep going.

  • Because deadlines work. That's literally the whole philosophy of this offer. Reset pricing, scope, and turnarounds are for July bookings only.

August is coming either way.

The question is what you're carrying into it.

Doors close July 31, or when spots fill, whichever comes first.
