"Great course - even for those who feel fairly confident about editing their academic work, Catherine's course is really useful.”
"The course addressed a number of complex and necessary points in a simple, down-to-earth way. On top of that, I loved Catherine's pragmatic, gentle and considerate tone throughout - that helped me calm down amid the chaos of writing up my own PhD thesis."
