Hi Ronald! I'm also a fan of Helen's work. Helen is a Professor with the Manchester Metropolitan University where I did my PhD: although mainly known for her poetry, she has a keen interest in Place Writing, and I attended a few events she arranged. Here's her uni web-page: https://www.mmu.ac.uk/staff/profile/professor-helen-mort
Thanks very much, Yasmin. My stack is in a way my substitute for advanced post-graduate studies. I once started a PhD and abandoned it after the first semester. I admire your stick-to-it-iveness!
A wonderful accomplishment. Your story is inspiring.
Best
Fred

Hi Sally! I got there in the end!
Thanks for your description of what the process involved in your doctorate program and congratulations on its completion, Doctor.
Jill, it's been super interesting and I've improved my writing for sure. It's good to know you here.
Congratulations! Completing a doctorate is a long journey.
Thank you, David. It took complete dedication for three years and I enjoyed... ooh.... 95% of it.
BTW, I love your Substack - I find this period of French history absolutely fascinating.

Ah, David. Maybe it wasn't quite the right time for you. Perhaps in the future... But I think you can make a few dreams come true with Substack.
Yes, I’m optimistic about the potential here on Substack. Onward!
Congratulations Doc!
Many thanks, Liz!
