I’m sure that you will already have received feedback from others but I wanted to say how good Rowena's Thesis workshops were, an absolute game changer for myself in the final 6m to submission. It was challenging but so worthwhile. I now realise that it pays to play the long game; the knowledge development is of course incremental but for me, the epiphany moments have occurred within the last few weeks.

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 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.

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 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.

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! :)

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 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.

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.

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've just finished the PhD Survival Pack and Thesis Masterclass. Had I done this earlier, I would have finished writing by now!

 I want thank you for the mock viva service you provided. This was amazing service. Especially as you 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. You 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 your 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. Your experience in examining PhD students defending their viva was clearly visible.
