"The author has used the LaTeX typesetting language since 1991 and has written a number of packages available on the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN), including the popular ""datatool"" and ""glossaries"" packages. She has also taught LaTeX in training courses at the University of East Anglia and for the UK TeX User Group. This series developed from her course material."

Reviews for Using LaTeX to Write a PhD Thesis

In addition to LaTeX and typographic information, it contains some general advice for graduate students, which I find very good and well thought out. - Boris Veytsman, TUGboat, Volume 35 (2014), No. 1. (http://tug.org/books/reviews/tb109reviews-talbot.html)
