What Some Have Said About the Book

  • I felt like I uncovered buried treasure in my own office. Again, thank you so much for the treasure. I intend to begin by giving a copy of your book to all my doctoral students!

    Professor Christine Oliver, York University

  • I came across this booklet while working on my PhD, and this resource turned out to be extremely valuable. As a non-native English speaker transitioning from the industry to academia, this booklet was a lifesaver. It helped me quickly grasp the essential rules of academic writing.

    Professor Sylvie Borau, Toulouse Business School

  • Some months ago you sent me your booklet "The Academic's Little Helper," which I appreciated very much. It would be good for my doctoral students to read your guide. I wonder if you could send to me more copies of the booklet.

    Professor Joaquim Vergés-Jaime, UAB, Barcelona

  • I am quite impressed with the manner in which you provide practical advise in a succinct fashion.

    Teri Moser Woo, Director of Nursing, Saint Martin's University
