Dear colleagues,

Please find below an announcement for a new app aimed at helping your students with their essays and other writing assignments. We hope you will bring it to their attention. It is not a substitute for mentoring, but it is an additional source of advice, available 'on the go'. We would be grateful if you could encourage your students to use it. .

Feedback on the app is very welcome. Apologies for cross-posting. 

Regards,
Bas
