Yes! Most of the strategies and tips outlined in this book are designed to apply to all essays. Some parts will apply more to UK universities specifically as they have a slightly different process for handing out coursework than the USA, but these parts are highlighted in the book.
Unfortunately, this book was written for English based essays, and so a lot of the content is based around the quirks of essays in that language. However, many of the study tactics can apply to different languages, and you might be able to use some of the learnings to your native language essays.
Not currently. The book is primarily focused on helping people complete essays in the English language, so translations may be of limited help. However, if enough people express a particular interest in getting the book in their native language, we can look at expanding the book into other languages. So, please email us your interest to hello@theultimateessayguide.com.
Due to the original domain expiring and the old site being taken down, the resources from the first edition are no longer available at that domain. There is a new updated link in the second edition that allows readers to find the resources we mention in the book. Please find that link there.
Not currently, but this is something we would be open to creating in the near future. So, please reach out at hello@theultimateessayguide.com to express your interest in an audio version to help us gauge interest.
