"I was in a real log jam when I started in on the writing group and it's been amazing. It's given me the impetus to actually get my dissertation submitted. So I thoroughly recommend it."

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 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.

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.

The writing group gives me a focus for my day and makes me feel connected both to my PhD and to other researchers. I don't know where I would be right now without it, but I know that because I have this wonderful group I will get through and finish.

The PhD People 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.

The fellowship, academic advice, and connection 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.

If I had not found this group I think psychologically I would be in a very low place. I feel nurtured in the 'space' and love being part of a network of people who you can ask questions of. Having Max do an email check in with me every so often has made me feel cared for and that the work i am doing is important. I have felt very lonely during the past few years and unconfident in my phd journey. This group of amazing people, including Max, Karen and Jane has been an anchor for me during times when I could quite happily given up
