And students, who always astonish me

I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for everything. Your edits truly go a very long way, they always elevate the work and bring such clarity and precision. I really appreciate the time, thought, and care you put into every suggestion. Thanks again for your support. It means a lot. Warm regards, Naledi.

Your consideration means so much to me. I do love my work and the specific aspect I love is that I am given the freedom to do my best work, and that a ‘development grant’ pays me. ‘Development’ means I can do what I love which is having a chance to be part of making you and others amazing. There are so many people like you who need real attention and care to honor the difficulties they face in their work. Thanks, Tanya.

When students become lecturers they help their students

I hope you are doing well. I wanted to thank you for attending the Advanced Jewellery Theory session. Your expertise and editorial tips on the language used were invaluable. As facilitators of learning, we often find ourselves short-handed in many areas, and I genuinely appreciate contributions from people like you. Thank you for your time, and I hope the students will benefit from your expertise moving forward.

Thank you for engaging so much during the seminar, which always means that the students sit up and listen because they know you are finding it useful. That nuanced guidance is so valuable.

In-industry business expert

Really impressed with the feedback and the amount of work put into the review. I feel like I have a solid direction of what needs to be done (stuff not even picked up by my supervisor.

I was so impressed with the readability you managed to achieve with such a pile of nuanced variables. Very readable!

Retired prof and daughter

My mom is now retired but still supervising master’s and doctoral students. She was really impressed with your work and said she’ll definitely contact you for editing in future. I am so glad I found you.

Kimberly Bediako

I did not know your mum was in the picture, although I did think your thesis was extraordinarily will structured and thought through. I know she must have had a hand in that. I am glad I found you too. Your work on Millennials and Gen Z is fascinating. I hope you show us all the way to work with each other constructively.

A doctor’s compliment

You have done a superb work. The paper really looks incredible 🥰😍.  Thanks for all the amazing suggestions.. I don’t know how you read this and also got so much editing done in this short time. TUT has kept amazing me but [meeting an editor like you] is the cherry on the top of the cake, the star on the Christmas tree, the snowcap on the mountain

Tshwane University of Technology Fellow

Thanks Kamesh. You asked if one should cap compliments…. I don’t, so you didn’t. : )) And I appreciate them. I am fast, and I am a power-user of Word. But the real trick is concentration – I concentrate well.

Thank you from the design team at Mattel

I just wanted to touch base and say thank you!  The course was fantastic and exactly what our team needed.  Even though there were only three of us in the course, we had a wide spectrum of experience and Tanya was INCREDIBLE and really unified us.  In a heartbeat, she tailored the course to our level(s) and she has a superpower for teaching.  She was so delightful and a true powerhouse of knowledge and information, and each day our group left invigorated and hungry for more.  Thank you to you both for making the course a beautiful success.  Hopefully, more to come!

Gosh David, as I said after the course, it is always the students’ energies that drive the course. I am always eager to jump on your wave – your enthusiasm, and the thoughtful questions from everyone on your team made this one of my favourite Adobe Illustrator courses presented. Deep appreciation for this note!

A Wits student who put my name on her WhatsApp group – thank you!

I completed my first master’s dissertation this year and it was nerve wrecking to say the least. I enlisted the services of Tanya from Thursday Cat Media to assist me with my editing. To say that I was blown away by her incredible talent at what she does is an understatement. Tanya was wonderful with providing me with constructive feedback and super efficient with the editing of my paper. I am grateful for your service,

attention to detail and meticulous eye for detail. Thank you Tanya, you made me feel super confident about submitting my paper. You are a rock star!

Tina Arunajalam

Thank you for all your recommendations, Tina. You made my day and my year. Blushing madly. I hope you are signing up for a doctorate proposal this year – your work is needed and fascinating.
