Feedback
"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."
Clear and concise online learning on this topic. Editing one's own writing can seem daunting and unachievable. This course breaks down the steps to undertaking robust editing and has given me greater confidence in editing my own work.
