Your workbook on essay writing is really informative and helpful! Even I struggle with the confines of writing a formatted essay, but your workbook shows simple ways to take abstract ideas and slot them into specific structures. At school, we are currently in the midst of the infamous career research paper, and I know that this workbook will definitely help alleviate the stress concerning any big essay assignment such as this one. – Mia

Today is my birthday!
Just bought Workbook #1 and started using the six-step process. It’s so handy! I have it open as I type to remind me to keep my dragon muzzled before the editing and proofreading stage. The exercises are fun to do and the illustrations are fantastic. Definitely something I wished I had before. Keen to get the next one!
