Improving Essay Skills: One-to-One Coaching from a Professional Writer
The Royal Literary Fund Writing Fellows in the Arts Faculty are available for consultations to advise you on how to improve your written work, whether planning and structuring your argument, writing clear and compelling prose, or editing, proof-reading and presenting the final version. This is not about remedial English or support for non-native speakers. Even the most fluent writers – undergraduate and postgraduate – can benefit from advice on their writing. An appointment with a Writing Fellow is intended for anyone who wants to be able to put across their ideas and arguments as effectively and persuasively as possible.
