The Core Timelines
While every project is unique, typical timeframes for the dedicated writing phase emerge based on the degree level. This is the period after most research is complete, focusing solely on drafting, revising, and finalizing the manuscript.
What Influences the Clock?
Several key factors can significantly accelerate or extend your writing timeline. Effective preparation and clear communication are the most powerful accelerators.

Page count is not the ultimate measure of quality, but it provides a concrete sense of the expected scope and effort for each degree level.
