Proofreading Malta Academy

I followed these courses as part of my CPE (professional development). In my line of work, I need to communicate regularly in writing, and it’s also imperative to document well the work performed. The Mastery full course bundle has been incredibly valuable, particularly the House Style Guide. This guide will save me time by providing consistent rules I can rely on, instead of making decisions from scratch each time I write. Highly recommended for internal/external auditors, financial advisors and other related jobs.

The Foundation course is a great starting point. The style guide included is especially useful, with so many sections covering many specific areas that could pop up in any given document, and it has already helped me considerably!

This concise yet highly practical guide sharpens a writer’s ability to hear dialogue on the page. Rather than relying on shortcuts or formulas, it teaches how to distinguish dialogue that serves authentic human interaction from dialogue that merely carries authorial intent. Insightful, challenging, and genuinely effective, it has a lasting impact on how one approaches writing. Well done to Proofreading Malta and Elizabeth Cortis for offering such a valuable learning opportunity. Thanks

This mini course takes a thoughtful, grounded approach to character creation, focusing on the psychological foundations that make characters believable rather than on rigid templates or checklists. It encourages writers to think in terms of contradiction, fear, motivation, and emotional consistency instead of surface traits or backstory alone. Its emphasis on emotional truth over spectacle is particularly effective, reminding writers that ordinary characters can be deeply compelling when written with honesty and care. Clear, reflective, and quietly challenging, this course is an excellent resource for writers who want their characters to feel human, layered, and real. A genuinely valuable mini course from Proofreading Malta Academy. Thanks to Elizabeth Cortis, such a great mentor.

I found the content very useful, especially the tips and strategies for writing stronger dialogue. Everything is explained in a clear, user-friendly way, and I liked that most of the techniques can be implemented right away to improve your writing. Very well put together, well done and thank you!

“Absolutely brilliant! Every module is packed with valuable insights. I devoured the whole course and will definitely be revisiting it. As a beginner, I found it incredibly helpful—an absolute must‑have!”
