I had the pleasure of working with Kirsty during the final writing stage of my doctoral thesis in History. She was recommended to me by a fellow doctoral student whom she had also supported, and I am really grateful that I followed that recommendation. Throughout the entire process, Kirsty was exceptionally reliable, approachable, and generous with her time. She consistently met deadlines and provided detailed editorial feedback that went far beyond proofreading. I strongly believe that her comments and suggestions significantly improved the structure, and overall flow of my thesis, helping me present my arguments more clearly and effectively. Above all I appreciated her willingness to engage with the work on a deeper level. In addition to her written feedback, she offered video calls during which I could discuss chapters, ideas, and revisions in detail. She patiently answered all of my questions and offered thoughtful guidance whenever I encountered difficulties. At a time when I had almost no supervisory support, Kirsty became exactly the support I needed. Her expertise and encouragement played a crucial role in helping me bring my thesis to submission. I would highly recommend Kirsty to any doctoral student or researcher seeking a skilled, insightful, and supportive editor or writing coach.
