This bundle has two valuable publications filled with viva help and comes with free UK shipping - plus it fits through your letterbox!


Keep Going - A Viva Survivors Anthology collects the best of five years of daily blogging about viva expectations, viva prep and examiners, as well as:

  • reflections on the PhD journey and confidence;
  • practical steps for getting ready for the viva;
  • thoughts on what it really means to survive the viva.

Over 150 posts carefully curated and edited to be a valuable guide for every postgraduate researcher with a viva in their future. First published and printed in 2022 as a small print run.


101 Steps To A Great Viva is a 24-page A5 zine to help postgraduate researchers as they prepare for their PhD viva. 101 actions that any PhD candidate can take to help them get ready for and have a great viva. Created through a successful Kickstarter campaign in May 2023, 101 Steps To A Great Viva is my attempt to get someone to think proactively about their viva: what can you do to put yourself in a good position? What will you do?


This site is the only place where these publications are available in print - you can get digital copies here - and I have extremely limited print quantities.


Note: this option does not contain digital versions of the publications, this is for physical copies with UK shipping only. I am unable to send these guides out of the UK.

I cover the viva from expectations to preparation, confidence-building to engaging with examiners. I'm extremely proud of the result and very grateful for the support I had to make it a reality.

About Me

I'm really passionate about helping PGRs become PhDs. I work for myself and wear many hats, but mostly I'm known for supporting postgraduate researchers through workshops, webinars and writing the Viva Survivors daily blog.
