This time last year I enlisted your services and it was the best thing I ever did. I now proudly call myself Doctor. I Graduated in October and I know without your services it would not have been possible. So, thank you, which seems so minimal for the amazing work you and your team do.

The PhD People are the supervisors that everyone needs but which most don't have! I genuinely believe that taking part in the writing group will be the difference between me handing my thesis in later this year and abandoning it due to being stuck and helpless. Thank you!

The PhD People are the lifeline you need for getting on with your PhD. The team are passionate, friendly and knowledgeable and do all they can to get you through the hard slog of writing your thesis. I signed up for the one month sprint and the motivation of showing up every day has been great - so much so that I've signed up for another month already.

This session on Introduction and Conclusion was invaluable. It felt collaborative and run by Jeremy who has a wealth of experience to draw upon. I now have more of a framework for writing my conclusion!

Due to work commitments I sadly missed the session I had booked on 'Preparing for the Viva.' However, I was delighted to still receive a recording of the session and the slides the next day. Thank you for sharing those with me. The recording of the session and the slides have been very helpful, particularly as I am only a few months away from my viva and currently preparing for my mock viva. It was a shame to have not been able to attend the "live" session, as the interactional aspect of it looked particularly useful. The comments shared by Professor Wellington and Max were very interesting and informative. Thank you for all the sessions you provide - they have really helped me through my PhD journey.

Thank you to you and the team for the light-touch feedback on the entire dissertation. Under the time pressure I was facing, it was incredibly helpful to have your input on flow, argumentation, and overall clarity, things I likely wouldn’t have spotted myself at that stage. I’m very much looking forward to starting my PhD, and I will likely be in touch again when I need support.

The fellowship, academic advice, and de-loneliness of being in this group have been a massive support in my doctoral journey. To be direct, this is not an endeavour that feels like throwing more money at your university ventures, but instead offers succour and authentic academic support from people who have been through this experience and genuinely desire to help others on this road.

The writing group was deeply significant and influential in enabling me to get the dissertation to submission point. The members and leaders have been very supportive, and the regular writing slots gave me a needed daily impetus.

Joining the writing group has made a significant difference to my writing and confidence over the last few months. It offers a combination of discipline, expertise, and support, along with a friendly community.

I value the structure and space daily dedicated to PhD writing tasks. The writing groups are a safe space and accountability support, and helps me to get more focused and more productive with the challenging task to complete a PhD thesis.

As you and the PhD people have been invaluable in proofreading my dissertation and supporting me with tips, tricks and very encouraging emails, I wanted to share the happy news with you! On Wednesday, I passed my viva with flying colours and was awarded Summa Cum Laude, not only the highest grade but also one that none of my examiners have ever awarded, although they have been in the game for a long time. Thank you again for your support and for the wonderful community you have created! It was a vital resource for me!

I attended a webinar with Prof Gina Wisker looking at the theoretical chapter of the thesis and it was brilliant. It is possibly the best webinar I've ever attended and Gina was so patient and methodical. She broke down concepts of theories and frameworks in an easy to understand manner and was very approachable. She came across as a genuinely lovely person who was very knowledgeable. I recommend this webinar and will be attending more in future.

Fabulous discussion which finally helped me to understand the concept of theoretical and conceptual frameworks

I was very satisfied with the service. Communication was excellent, and in addition to the proofreading, I received helpful tips on thesis formatting. Highly recommended.

Having the writing club has greatly helped with spurring me on to getting this PhD done. Who knew, 90 minutes on commitment a day would make so much difference.

Many thanks for all your help. It was both comforting, clear and pragmatic in ensuring I was on the right track. The tracking and comments helped. Your support really did give me confidence. Many thanks again. Becca

The proofreading service by the PhD people was great and I am glad I went with them! Max and I had a short call even before I decided to go with them, in which he answered all of my questions. He made sure that I knew all the details and that they were aware of my expectations. I told him to mainly look out for repetition and language mistakes, as I had a rather tight deadline. I think next time I would ask for more in-depth copyediting, but this was my choice due to a tight time frame, so nothing to do with the service. I was really impressed with how fast Max and his team were able to proofread my lengthy dissertation. Would definitely use their services again!

Amazing source of advice, guidance and an all round PhD sounding board that just ‘gets it’, and super nice too.

The PhD People is such an excellent resource for anyone working towards a PhD. I enjoy the newsletters, have attended a few workshops over the years and I also did a mock viva with Professor Peter Smith which I found really useful.

As someone who is neurodiverse i found this course amazing. It has helped me create structure and order in what can be a confusing and overwhelming process. The layman language and the personal examples made the course feel like a conversation rather than a lecture. And the worksheets are a lifesaver. Absolutely worth the investment at any stage of the PhD process.

I joined The PhD People’s writing sprint in January after feeling stuck and unsure about my progress. Having tried so many approaches over the years, I wasn’t too optimistic, but the one-month writing sprint turned out to be exactly what I needed. I completed my final chapter and met my deadline—an incredible milestone for me. Shifting from writing only when I felt motivated to a structured daily writing routine helped me regain confidence and a sense of control over my PhD. I feel excited about my research for the first time in years which has made all the difference. There are still challenging days but the PhD People have provided a community and support system that I can lean on. I highly recommend their support to anyone struggling because it has made such a significant impact on my work and how I feel about it! :)

I had reached a dead end when writing my thesis. Time after time my supervisors contradicted their inputs. This lack of overall direction prompted me to look for some pragmatic advice on how to structure my work. PhD proofreaders was exactly what I was looking for, sound practical advice to structure and plan my work. Digging me out of the hole I’d created. Using their resources I was able to rewrite and build my work in the space of 6 months. If you have supervisors who don’t read your work or listen to your concerns then you need these resources from PhD proofreaders.

The PhD People are the most dedicated, thorough and amicable editors I have ever known. I strongly recommend them to PhD students, staff and researcher who wish to give their a polishing touch that makes it flawless and accessible.

I'm not sure where I saw the prompt for PhD People but it triggered an immediate response of interest. I enjoyed the PhD Masterclass with Professor Peter Smith immensely! The lecture was everything I had been looking for and hoping for - for nearly a year now. I am having my first annual review next week better understanding the value of the advice I have been given by my supervisors, as well as what I have achieved so far in writing my thesis. The most important part of the lecture, among many, was the explanation of critical thinking and writing, this has been a very difficult aspect for me to comprehend all along. Many thanks to Professor Smith who articulated and explained perfectly all that I need to know! I am very excited about the other offerings as well from PhD Proofreaders! Thank you again, Diane Elizabeth Huntington Loring

I reached out mid-way through writing my PhD because I wanted to ensure I was on the right track and making solid arguments, in the correct structure, before finishing my research and discussion. I found having the literature review and some case studies edited and assessed incredibly helpful, and these learnings will shape how I finish my PhD. Max was very responsive and engaging and made sure all of the elements I wanted to discuss were checked by the editor. The process was smooth and transparent which I appreciated when dealing with personal work. The feedback I got was very constructive. Having this peace of mind at the mid-way point of writing was the motivation I needed to draft up my remaining chapters with guidance and confidence. I will definitely be submitting my remaining chapters for review before final submission.

I loved the attention to detail that The PhD People provide. They do thorough and very detailed editing. I can confirm that they provide professional editing services at an affordable price! The quick turn around time is another plus. I am satisfied with their service.

Dr Max you're definitely one of the best academics and educators out there! The PhD crash course definitely helped with my literature review, a part I have struggled to write. I have not implemented the guidelines of the other lessons yet but I have no hesitation in encouraging you to continue helping young PhD scholars, especially in our day and age when AI apps are taking over everything. Thanks a million.

Joining Jeremy's class boosted my confidence in selecting the right journal and avoiding common mistakes for publication.

I receive Friday email that helps me. I saw workshop advertised. The PhD People is genuine and from real people who write with an understanding of the experience of being a PhD student. It's business, have to make money, but no American hard sell, bombarding users with bargains, sign ups. I intend to book for viva course

I got in contact with The PhD People when I had a lot of concerns about the wrapping up of my PhD and my viva due to multiple challenges I have faced throughout my PhD journey. Chatting to Max and later having the mock-viva with Peter allayed a lot of my concerns and I felt supported throughout. I feel like I have a much better idea about what to expect and how to prepare for my real viva, and I was able to chat through the worries I had with people that really understood my situation. Really grateful to both Max and Peter for the experience.

I attended the theoretical framework masterclass which was very helpful in clarifying what is the conceptual framework, what is the theoretical framework and why both are important in your PhD. I had been unable to get a clear answer on these frameworks from my supervisors or others and the masterclass made it really clear and why they are so essential. The great thing was I'd been asking the question and suddenly your masterclass popped up, just at the right time.

I’m very happy with the copy editing. They are very very meticulous and find tiny bur critical mistakes that even my prof couldn’t find. They are really interested in your paper and devote so much work in making it better

Very impressive and detailed review done. I strongly recommend them for all proofreading work.

I feel like you truly operate to genuinely help students be successful in their research. My coach was thorough in their work and not only showed me the corrections but taught me to see the errors myself. Their descriptions and clarifications taught me what to look for, helping me learn to become a better scholar. They made me realise how much more interesting and fun my project could have been had I had more guidance from the beginning. My only regret is that I did not reach out to you sooner.

Very informative and Jane is an engaging tutor. Highly recommend this workshop to others, particularly if you are further along on your PhD journey.

Professor Jane Creaton offered the listeners a wide variety of practical steps and resources to assist us in effective, academic writing. Her webinar was fun, interactive and extremely helpful.

I found your resources and encouraging posts/emails truly helpful throughout the PhD process - thank you. You provide an excellent, compassionate, and much needed service. It's a long, winding and often dark 'n' lonely path to PhD completion. You light the way.

I used the proofreading service for my thesis. The communication to agree a price, the speed of arranging and getting it back to me, and the updates on progress were very good. The proofreading was very thorough and detailed. I didn't accept every edit suggestion, but overall I found the suggestions very useful. For the price and that fact that it I could reach out and ask questions, I would recommend The PhD People.

I reached out to the PhD People because I was struggling with structuring my thesis. I am a neurodiverse student and shoehorning my creativity and PhD into academic conventions was too challenging on my own. With the support of the writing course I now have a structure to follow. This means that I can focus on the content and showcase an in depth knowledge of my topic. The service you provided was affordable, concise, and most importantly, in plain English! Thankyou for all your help. I have recommended you to all my cohort!

My viva is coming up in the next month so I signed up for the Viva preparation talk with Jerry. I found it really helpful, in terms of guidance on suggested questions, but also to put my mind at ease about the whole experience. Thank you!

I am taking the opportunity to prepare myself as well as possible for all aspects of my PhD!

I came across the session as I was preparing for my viva. It was such a useful, helpful session. I gained a clear picture of what to expect in my viva and extremely helpful advice on how to best prepare. I highly recommend for PhD students. I wish I had come across the site sooner.

This was a well timed boost to get back on the bike having completed my PhD last year. The session on Writing for Publication was well structured and nicely delivered by Jane Creaton.

Why did you reach out to us? No idea what steps to take and in what order to publish my PhD or parts of it.

In what way did our work impact your PhD journey? Received information that I will use to plan next steps towards publishing my output 

What is the best thing about the service we provide? Postive, uplifting with very precise and concrete instructions that help structure and apporach the challanges I encounter on my PhD journey.

Doing a PhD in a language that is not your mother tongue is quite a challenge. That is why I contacted The PhD People to help me with this aspect. Not only did they do this, but they also helped me with formatting and referencing. Always on time and very happy with the service.

I am at the point of writing my theoretical framework chapter and was a bit stuck. I saw your workshop being offered and thought I would join. It was informative and helpful. It was good to see the variety of participants from around the world joining the workshop. The 5pm to 6.30pm timeslot in the UK meant it was 6am to 7.30am here in New Zealand which was a manageable time for me.

I enjoyed that you can take this course at your own pace and go back to the lessons when you need them. It was also useful to have the templates and a series of questions related to each lesson to help get the writing going.

I've just finished the PhD Writing Course. Had I done this course earlier, I would have finished writing by now!

More than half the class was spent with the prof asking students what they thought instead of him giving us tips considering that he was the expert on this subject and that we were there to learn from him. Thankfully we get the slides afterwards at least - just going through those would have been a much better use of my time.

You and your excellent professional skills can always cheer me up and bring me more confidence at the last stage of this long matharon.

Without The PhD People, there is no chance I would have submitted my thesis on time. I wouldn't have passed first time, either. My thesis was let down by poor English, so the money I spent was worth every penny. It was a great investment.

Acknowledging the thesis introduction and conclusion are difficult to draft, I was hoping for a less discursive and more structured session. That said, there were some good tips on repetition and viva hooks.

I wanted to write to convey my thanks and appreciation for the proofreading undertaken by yourselves. The fact that you worked in Overleaf was especially helpful and a huge relief. The standard of proofreading was excellent and completed in time. I have finally been awarded my PhD and I could not have overcome the final hurdle without you.

I just want to take the opportunity to thank you for the excellent support that you and your company provided to me in my doctoral process. I subscribed to your services over a year ago at a time when I was facing my lowest point in motivation. Your wonderful guidance, tools and reassurance was just what I needed to see me through. I am happy to say that I received my doctorate this month and couldn’t have done it without your help.

I would like to thank The PhD People for a well edited Ph.D. dissertation. I don’t regret hiring them in the final stage of my writing. Their professional style helped to beautify my paper and make it easy to read without typos - it was a masterpiece. Consequently, I passed my Ph.D. without any corrections. I thank The PhD People for a job well done. Hence, if any doctoral candidate or graduate student wants their work to be professionally edited, I strongly recommend them.

Your solidarity with developing countries' PhD students who would never be able to afford other similar services, makes you standout not only as a high quality proofreading services provider but also as an understanding and personal service supplier. This unique approach puts you at the helm of the pack.

Without this personalised assistance, there is no way I would have felt comfortable paying a proofreader. The PhD People couldn’t have done a better job. It was such a relief. The thesis they sent back read so beautifully and I was awarded no corrections.

I found the mock viva of immense value in preparing me for what's ahead in terms of the actual examination. Had a really great discussion with Prof. Smith today. Sincerely appreciated.

 I want thank you for the mock viva service you provided. This was amazing service. Especially as Peter had to read and more than got the gist of my 90,000 word qualitative thesis in an incredibly short space of time in order to make the mock viva meaningful and useful. Peter put me at my ease, asked insightful, relevant questions – including one that really tested my ability to think on the spot, as I needed to work through to get right. I felt that this was a true demonstration of his academic ability to absorb the core parts of my thesis in very little time.  I truly appreciate the kindness which you wished me well and enquired as to how I got on. Thank you. It was having to go through the process, think on my feet, with someone I didn’t know that made it as close to the real thing as it could possibly be.  I am sure this contributed to my being better able to respond coherently on the day, as the process wasn’t new to me and I wasn’t as nervous as I would have been. Peter’s experience in examining PhD students defending their viva was clearly visible.

You exceed my expectations. Not only did you correct the English in my dissertation, you did so while being ever mindful of the variety of subtle differences in language use between academic fields. You were able to expertly navigate between English errors that could just be corrected and English errors that required flagging for clarification and where the most obvious English correction would changed the content of my dissertation. The end result was a PhD dissertation which was not only written in proper English but had much clearer content as well. You were willing to go beyond expectations when editing my PhD dissertation.

I needed extra clarification and support so I reached out to do the 10-lesson course. Each lesson was manageable and far exceeded my expectations. Sometimes one thinks they have a handle on, for example, the literature but further guidance in that lesson was extremely helpful. The added links to resources were a welcomed bonus. Each lesson proved enlightening and clarified what I needed to do, what I have done that was right/wrong, ways to improve each thesis chapter and the added benefit knowing that others faced confusion in the same areas that I do. Overall, an excellent 10 lesson course that is highly recommended.

I found the step by step help very valuable. The sections were clear.

I am approaching my submission date and thought a group setting might break the isolation of write-up and help with focus. I found the day to be leader-led rather than peer-focussed. I would have preferred some break-out options in the break times to have conversations with peers about their experiences etc. I felt like the day was focussed on the timed writing sessions (I know this is the point) but there was no interaction between us other than in the chat box when prompted to write our goals. I know the online format can be tricky but for the price, I expected more. I have attended writing retreats before online where the organisers have offered more tips for structuring the time etc and have offered one-to-one advice. I feel that the price of £30 was inflated for the service provided which is a shame. I enjoy the resources you provide on your website and understand that you need to pay overheads when organising something like this, but for what was provided, it's a lot. I have attended similar sessions, in person, with refreshments provided and they have been free. I felt disappointed at the end of the day. I think, in future, you may wish to consider adjusting the price.

I was really looking forward to the session on theoretical frameworks but right from the outset I'm afraid to say it was a disappointment. The slides were overly wordy, appeared to have no order and be taken from multiple different presentations. Rather than making something complex more easy to understand it just created more confusion due to its lack of structure. I'm sure the presenter has vast experience in her field but unfortunately delivering a presentation was not her forte. She also became easily drawn in and distracted from attendees who 'hijacked' the session for their own purposes which left large periods of time which were irrelevant to the rest of us. I have high opinions of The PhD People in general but this was a real let down and I regret paying for and wasting my time with this session.

I have been using The PhD People a lot and overall find it incredibly valuable. So thank you With regard to this particular workshop on Preparing for your Workshop, on reflection I gained more from it than I appreciated during the workshop itself. While it was happening, I felt a bit frustrated by how much time was allocated to going around the group for views on what they look forward to and fear about the Viva. There were probably three or four key points that came out of this, and that happened very early on. Everyone else's contribution was simply repetition and I felt a little dismayed as I watched the minutes ticking by. That aside, Jeremy is very engaging and clearly had a lot to share from a very informed position. Just wish we had gone through the slides as he must have originally planned. I have definitely gained from the workshop, but I also think there was more Jeremy had in mind to share with us and in the end didn't. Back to PhD Proofreaders, I am using your Writing Course, I have participated in a writing workshop, and I have enjoyed the workshops and will continue to do so. I also love the email motivators. Keep up the good work.

I reached out post viva as the exam panel said I needed to hire a professional proofreader. The service was fantastic, so detailed, useful and I could see a big change in the quality of my work. I also really appreciated and loved all the nice comments the proofreading team made about my work in the track changes - It was really encouraging :) It was a super quick service, and the team were very understanding about my changing deadlines too. Would definitely recommend and would use again in the future for academic journal papers for sure (if possible!)

I wanted to make sure that my introduction and conclusion were well detailed and comprehensive enough. After the session I am now clear on what I need to do moving forward. I think your service has improved my confidence that I can do it.

Very thorough, helpful, productive.

Many thanks for recently proofreading my thesis. I found the experience very useful- I was also able to pick up mistakes that I make and patterns of mistakes because of the experience and things pointed out, there were a few things which only human but because of the process I was then able to pick up on. I would 100% recommend any PhD student to have a professional proofreader and your service. It was very useful, thanks.

I’m at the proposal stage of my PhD journey and this workshop was clear practical and informative.

I reached out to you because my viva is around the corner, and it made me feel anxious. Now, I feel at ease knowing what to expect, which has also helped me with my slides. The best thing about it is just knowing that there is someone out there who understands the pressure that comes with a PhD and is willing to offer some help.

Very clear and thorough information on the process and art of publishing written postgrad work, while also very useful for those in the process of defining their interests and approach to building their online academic presence while focusing and directing their research. Highly recommended for anyone still deciding on study topics and possible approaches for potential PhD programmes!

Will do so after I finish. So far, extremely helpful.

Loved the helpful step-by-step instructions and encouragement. Every phase of the PhD process had helpful information on how to tackle in very simple and practical ways.

I was really confused about the viva and how it will go what are the questions that will be asked from the examiner and how long it takes so I was googling this information and I found your website Your work make my journey easier as I was looking for someone I can do rehearsal with and someone will give me a real feedback with no grading so I can feel confident in my real viva That you provide what the PhD candidate needs

Wanted to get pointers regarding the Viva process and how to be successful in doing this. The lecture was useful in this process

I reached out to the service by recommendations from a colleague. Max is very helpful and responded email fast and efficiently. The proofreaders are also great, scrutinised my thesis carefully. A very professional work I have received, thank you.

I struggled with isolation and feeling like I didn't belong anywhere near academia. I still feel like that to an extent, but knowing others relate to this makes all the difference - it normalises the unease! So far, I have successfully avoided presentations but I'm now in my final year and I can't for much longer. The storytelling session was helpful in stripping back to basics, making presenting seem achievable (with practise), and removing the stuffiness that often surrounds presenting and adds to the intimidation. Finally, I met a nice bunch of people.

I reached out to learn about communicating science!!! Clares workshop was amazing, great techniques and endless positive energy - the best, sering Clare telling storys and getting a clear picture of how thus could work for myself!

Excellent presentation by Clare Murphy who enlightened all of us on the powerful art of seeing and telling professional, academic and personal stories.

Another very good workshop led by Jerry. Writing critically is something that I realise now I haven't fully understood. Not least, that it doesn't just relate to the Lit Review chapter! Thank you.

I get your emails because of your interesting webpage. In a session of an hour and a half I got few but important clues to take into account, not only about the topic of the session. Besides, given that it's a lonely journey sharering simmilar concerns with other PhD students is a bit of a relief. Your expertise is the best about your service. It's clear you know what a PhD entails.

Jeremy led a very useful workshop with his usual easy-going style. I feel more confident about writing my Introduction and Conclusion chapters as a result. Thank you.

Good session with clear indicators. Jeremy is a very likable and able guy -A realist who knows his stuff. This service is needed for the few who undertake doctoral work and often are left alone to solve problems , even with University supervision. thank you . Best regards David

The session was exceptionally useful in uderstanding the structure and purpose of two key parts of a thesis - the introduction and conclusion. Professor Wellington is very warm and attentive to the needs of participants. I recommend these sessions highly.

Prepping for your Viva workshop, was very useful. Although that my Viva is more than a year away, and my university will have a workshop about it, I decided it would be useful to have an early look at what is required. It was a very useful session, interactive, and helpful. Good to hear from others on the same journey, and from an experienced examiner sharing their knowledge, hints and tips. Thanks!

I reached out because I am not getting much support from my supervisor and I felt I needed help. I am now ready to begin writing up my literature review and theoretical framework. The best thing about yesterday’s class is that I felt like I’m not alone in my doubts. The session cleared up some of my doubts and was very useful. I now know how to incorporate the theory and concepts I need for my project

Wanted someone to quickly read proof-read a chapter I was working on. Great and fast service! I am very happy. It sure saves me time, and I can focus more on actually writing. -Emma

The webinar helped to reassure me that I was on the right track, it gave me some super helpful information, guidance and it was useful to hear that many of my concerns were echoed with others

I reached to get a better general understanding of how writing a thesis works and to get maximum charity for my own theory chapter! After the workshop I feel like 1000% ready to deliver!!! The best thing? - Gina does not only know what shes doing but also how to communicate it in the most effective way!!!

I receive your newsletter, I writing my thesis, and the topic-- Writing for Publication-- peaked my interest. It was excellent: the slides and explanations were clear. I really appreciate the video link and slides which allow me to continue to revert to the session. Thank you!

I reached out to your service for help with proofreading my thesis chapters. Your assistance has significantly impacted my PhD journey by providing tremendous support, reliability, attention to detail, and pastoral care. The best aspect of the service you offer is your deep understanding of PhD-level sources, the challenging nature of academic work, and the combined academic and moral support you provided, which has been immensely beneficial to me. The Friday pep talk from Max has been a tremendous strength, and I look forward to reading it every Friday.

PhD Writing retreats are amazingly supportive because they encourage a structure in my writing habits. They also facilitate setting up of mini-goals, with excellent follow-through suggestions.

I reached out to you to proofread my thesis. I was very happy with the reliable service you provided and knowing that someone will diligently read through everything really had a positive impact on my peace of mind. What stood out about your service was probably the responsiveness, flexibility and reliability.

I came across The PhD People when looking to find the support I didn't feel I was getting from my supervisors and to fill some gaps in the support from my institution. Unlike many companies offering this kind of service the professionals offering advice via The PhD People are seasoned academics with EXTENSIVE experience, which I find incredibly valuable (and not just because my supervisors are relatively less experienced). I love the fact that there are 1:1 options, as well as more input driven workshop options, all with a fair and transparent pricing. And the academics I've encountered are very positive and encourage you to enjoy the PhD experience! Thank you!

A very concise and insight full course which provided the main points that all PhD students want to hear to help focus their studies.

I'm finding thesis writing quite a gruelling process. Workshops like these offer a useful opportunity to reflect on how best to make sense of this huge task in a supportive and non-judgemental space.

I am currently doing a PhD and am at write up stage. I wanted to make sure the way I write my literature review is in line with the required structure and being more precise within my overall writing is important for me.

This time last year I enlisted your services and it was the best thing I ever did. I now proudly call myself Doctor. I Graduated in October and I know without your services it would not have been possible. So, thank you, which seems so minimal for the amazing work you and your team do.

The PhD People are the supervisors that everyone needs but which most don't have! I genuinely believe that taking part in the writing group will be the difference between me handing my thesis in later this year and abandoning it due to being stuck and helpless. Thank you!

The PhD People are the lifeline you need for getting on with your PhD. The team are passionate, friendly and knowledgeable and do all they can to get you through the hard slog of writing your thesis. I signed up for the one month sprint and the motivation of showing up every day has been great - so much so that I've signed up for another month already.

This session on Introduction and Conclusion was invaluable. It felt collaborative and run by Jeremy who has a wealth of experience to draw upon. I now have more of a framework for writing my conclusion!

Due to work commitments I sadly missed the session I had booked on 'Preparing for the Viva.' However, I was delighted to still receive a recording of the session and the slides the next day. Thank you for sharing those with me. The recording of the session and the slides have been very helpful, particularly as I am only a few months away from my viva and currently preparing for my mock viva. It was a shame to have not been able to attend the "live" session, as the interactional aspect of it looked particularly useful. The comments shared by Professor Wellington and Max were very interesting and informative. Thank you for all the sessions you provide - they have really helped me through my PhD journey.

Thank you to you and the team for the light-touch feedback on the entire dissertation. Under the time pressure I was facing, it was incredibly helpful to have your input on flow, argumentation, and overall clarity, things I likely wouldn’t have spotted myself at that stage. I’m very much looking forward to starting my PhD, and I will likely be in touch again when I need support.

The fellowship, academic advice, and de-loneliness of being in this group have been a massive support in my doctoral journey. To be direct, this is not an endeavour that feels like throwing more money at your university ventures, but instead offers succour and authentic academic support from people who have been through this experience and genuinely desire to help others on this road.
