“Thank you very much for the writing retreat last weekend, and for uploading all of the material so promptly. A lot of good tips and advice to take in - in a good way. The retreat was very well organised, the content useful, practical, clear and therefore excellent in every way. No doubt it will help me going forward in my PhD.”

“Overall, I got a huge amount out of the retreat. Although I have listened to your editing masterclass recently, hearing it a second time helps to reinforce the method. It was a good opportunity to keep writing over the weekend. ”

“I found the retreat very useful and am interested in futures retreats or retreats that focus in on writing styles. It has given me a focus. I am writing this week with clear goals.”

“I wanted to drop you a quick line to say hello - and thank you.

10 days ago, the article you were supporting me was accepted by the journal after a very minor set of final revisions. I am very firmly back on the writing “horse”. I am writing my next paper. I have some good writing discipline and am very much taking forward some of the actions we discussed. I’m hoping for a decent first draft by tomorrow lunchtime when I leave.

Realising I was stuck, and reaching out for help was one of the best things I did last year. It could so easily have gone in a different direction. But maintaining a good (if constrained) research and writing practice is really crucial to me. So thank you for helping me get back to it.”
