Practical suggestions on how to improve document quality were an added (and unexpected) bonus! From my personal experience, I am very comfortable recommending Lucy very highly.

I believe I am a better writer for doing this course. I’ve got more useful information from Piers in 5 weeks than from anyone else in all the time I’ve been doing my job.
