I consulted The PhD People to look over a few of my chapters, and have been thoroughly impressed with the level of attention and detail given. In my own opinion my subject topic is rather niche, concerning well-being valuation but from the comments and feedback I've received, they will endear themselves to your topic, which will include checking concepts for accuracy, and even if the references say what you are saying they say. I would describe their analysis as one of a surgical level, and the feedback is always clear, in that you know what the criticism is and where to move forward to remedy it. Heavily recommend this if you want extra eyes on your work.

I wanted to reach out to inform you that last Friday, I have successfully passed my PhD viva - with NO corrections! The latter part really surprised me... I had expected at least minor corrections. So this result is absolutely amazing. Which means, it's now all over for me, with a happy ending! I want to thank you and your colleagues from "PhD People" for all the support along the way. At some of the points during the thesis writing, I would have been really lost without the daily writing sessions offered. They helped me to not despair entirely when the going was tough. The process of writing in company with others was a lifeline! So just to let you know the contribution the writing sessions and also trainings have had on my successful completion. Thank you so very much! I so appreciated it, and can only recommend it to others, and will do so.

I only found PhD people towards the end of my PhD journey and so used some of the templates and advice on the website in writing my thesis and then booked a mock viva. This was arranged really easily and responsively, the mock viva was online and a perfect mix of mock viva conditions and friendly constructive feedback. It gave me confidence and the opportunity to talk about my work with somebody other than peers and supervisors which was hugely helpful to gain clarity in my thinking. I wasn't sure at the time whether I had covered everything as in depth as a real viva would offer but having completed my PhD viva I'm pleased to say that it was a really good and comparable experience - just a bit shorter! I'm delighted to say I passed with minor corrections and the mock viva was hugely helpful in my preparation. Thank you so much.

Rowena Murray is an inspiring educator. Her comments are swift and to the point. Her enthusiasm infuses the workshop with a sense of fun despite the real challenges of the work. I can recommend this workshop unreservedly, and I hope to partake in another one in time.

Thank you for the magnificent support you have given me during my PhD journey. I have officially passed my PhD and the information you provided along with practical advice was invaluable. When hurdles presented themselves your messages gave me the determination to keep going.

I have found the support offered by the PhD People to be invaluable as part of my doctoral journey. The bootcamps, in particular, provided a significant boost in motivation at key stages of the process, such as writing up, helping me to regain focus and momentum when it was most needed. The consistent daily writing sessions were especially beneficial. They created structure and accountability, which were essential for me to overcome procrastination. It meant I maintained a steady productivity stream during what was a challenging and isolating process, prior to joining PhD People. I would highly recommend their support to anyone undertaking a PhD. The combination of encouragement, structure, and community has made a meaningful difference to my experience.

My experience with PhD People was defined by a rare combination of intellectual rigour and genuinely attentive support. Through both workshops and one-to-one sessions, they show a clear understanding of the real demands of doctoral work and offer guidance that meets you exactly where you are. The support never feels generic; it is thoughtful, practical, and consistently encouraging. The support I received in preparing for my viva proved decisive, particularly through the guidance of Jeremy Wellington. His insight helped me approach the examination with confidence, leading to a pass without amendments. The workshops on building a clear methodology and shaping a strong literature review, along with focused help on writing an effective introduction and conclusion, made a lasting difference to the quality of my thesis. Their support was always available at exactly the moments it was needed most.

With the help of Professor Jane Creaton at PhD People, I was able to not only pass my thesis examination, but pass with both examiners giving a straight pass with no further revision needed. I was also recommended for the Dean's Excellent Thesis by one of the examiners. I don't think I would be able to achieve these results without the help of Jane, who helped me clean up my thesis a lot, mostly through challenging my expressions to make sure they are as clear as possible with no room for ambiguity. Jane challenged me to explain everything as well as I can, which ultimately lead to the desirable outcome I received. I would also like to thank The PhD People for bridging me with Jane and helping me with my work.

I have been participating in the PhD People program for about 1 year. I did not get involved regularly until about six to nine months ago, but knowing they were there and that I could always attend the writing sessions was reassuring. I often participate in daily writing sessions, one-day writing retreats, and focused workshops. I am also receiving one-on-one coaching. All their offerings have benefited my PhD experience tremendously, especially knowing and experiencing that I am not alone in this journey. I am more connected with my committee chair as a result, because I am prepared and up to date. Most helpful have been the office hours and one-on-one coaching with key founders who have provided many tools and encouragement to keep going. My involvement and participation have made the difference, because I am accessing and using the tools they've provided. I am learning to balance my life while completing the dissertation: self-care, understanding my rhythm and abilities, all while constructing it, getting into a regular writing routine, and completing it.

I joined this writing boot camp because I was really struggling with the writing process and getting the last three chapters of my thesis done. What really changed for me during the boot camp wasn't just my productivity but it was also how I viewed the writing. I was much more efficient and less stuck in my head. During the boot camp I was able to complete the first drafts of three of those thesis chapters which honestly felt huge to me.

I’m a long term user of phd people’s service. They are quick and professional, price is competitive among many proofreaders, very meticulous. I finished my PhD with them and now I had to send my work to them for review before I submit to journals. They make me more confident

I took part in the autumn bootcamp and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! The hosts were incredibly kind, the writing companions motivating, and the atmosphere truly inspiring. It was well worth both the effort and the cost.

The bootcamp is an intensive, stimulating writing space with the benefit of a community of writers around you and being held to account for keeping on writing. I was absolutely amazed at how much I wrote (33,000 words!). I found the experience deeply satisfying. The thesis bootcamp forced me to dedicate 3 days to writing. On my own I would have got distracted or stopped. Doing this has meant I have made a huge step forward in writing up my thesis. The thesis roadmap too was fantastic. This task in itself has moved me forward with my EdD and I've shared it with my supervisors.

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 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.

Is it 'indicative of' or 'indicative for'? Where do I put commas? Should I use 'to provide' or 'to enable'? After spending months writing my PhD thesis and spending even more time on language editing, I became blind to my own errors. That's why I decided it is time to let some native speaking professionals do their work and handed my thesis to the proofreading service of the PhD People. And I must say, I'm very happy with how it turned out. The process was fast, and the arising questions were answered promptly via email. It was even possible to discuss the corrections and have them reread free of charge. I can now confidently submit my PhD thesis. Thank you very much!

I came across the PhD people about 4 months ago and found their free tools and templates so helpful. When your feeling stuck, using the tools helped me to get back on track. The opportunity to join the community has taken the support to another level. The daily writing sessions give me structure to keep me accountable and the advice and the incidental conversations that occur are really useful and help you realise your not the only one feeling frustrated at times! It feels like your getting one on one support. The events I have attended have plugged gaps that existed for me, how to structure your work, how to write at doctoral level and what to do in your VIVA. All sounds like basic stuff you should know, as a doctoral student but the people delivering make it clear and applicable I feel like i am racing rather than crawling to the finish line now. ..Can't recommend highly enough, join now!

Thank you so much to Max and The PhD People proofreaders for helping me with proofreading my entire thesis. Max was extremely helpful, responsive and flexible in discussing the best way to make my proofreading request happen when I had a submission deadline in January not long after Christmas and New Years. I appreciate how personalised the service was and how it was a collaborative process to decide on dates and what to have or not have proofread. It was reassuring to know that Max usually replied emails quickly with a thoughtful response to any questions I had. My work was returned two days earlier than the return date I was given, which was amazing! And when there had been a slight miscommunication, Max was extremely accommodating and let me send in extra material without an extra charge, and this work was returned to me within 48 hours. This was really comforting and reassuring amidst all the stress and chaos in the run up to submitting a PhD thesis! The proofreading was done very thoroughly and to a high standard, and my thesis came back to me feeling much tighter, clearer and stronger. It was so much less wordy and it was amazing to me how much difference was made in how submission-ready it felt, just by things like improving my sentence structure, using one decisive word where I had used five to express the same thing, etc - but without changing any of the meaning. The ideas, arguments and sentences are all exactly the same, just less bloated. This saved me so much time that I would have needed to get the text to the same standard of clarity, which I didn’t have! It allowed me to concentrate on the other many tasks that needed doing in the run up to submission, and not having to re-read and re-edit the text as many times as I otherwise would've hugely reduced how much rush and panic I felt in the days before submitting. It gave me more breathing room and space to finish my PhD in a good headspace. Thank you so much once again for this hugely helpful service!

Great service. As a non native english speaker I needed proofreading for my PhD thesis. They were really fast, and pointed out the time it feels repetitive, or what could I slightly change to make it sound better. I totally recommend.

The PhD People supported me at the final stage of my PhD by proofreading my thesis. They were brilliant to work with, and worked to a tight deadline near Christmas! I found the proofreading very thorough, and it was a huge help at the final sprint.

I needed rigorous and reliable feedback at a stage where my thesis required careful proofreading and structured guidance. Your service provided the clarity, responsiveness, and expertise that allowed the work to reach submission standard. Your input added coherence and renewed confidence to the final phase of my PhD. The precise corrections, clear explanations, and steady support made a significant difference when I was essentially working on my own. It helped me maintain momentum, stay organised, and progress without feeling overwhelmed. What stands out most is your professionalism, accuracy, and human understanding. You do not simply correct text. You help shape a manuscript so it reads clearly, consistently, and in line with academic expectations. Communication was straightforward, turnaround reliable, and the quality of the edits exceeded anything I anticipated.

I really don't know how I could have maintained my workflow and motivation without the PhD People, particularly during the isolated, repetitive, and reward-less process of dissertation writing!

The PhD supervisor and community I never had!

Thank you very much for the quick-turn-around of my document in editing it and getting it back to me in a timely fashion. I needed to move it on to a journal that had it peer reviewed and were waiting to finish the process

Support and guidance in how to write and structure my thesis. The course has given me confidence and I will be able to refer back to it during my PhD. The service feels like an extra arm of support for me to reach out for extra guidance or support when needed

I got an email announcing the class, and I signed up because I want to publish when I get to my PhD. I'm currently doing a second masters in Creative Writing for Young People. I'd like to do a Literary PhD and the class helped me see that publishing is possible with a little guidance. The best thing about the two classes I've taken is the way the information is broken down into manageable steps.
