One-to-one Writing Support

Thank you for your reassurance that the writing process is difficult. I thought it was just me who was having all these troubles

Introducing our Fellows

We are delighted that Katie Hickman and Rosalind Harvey will continue as our Royal Literary Fund Fellows for 2022-2023.

Would you like to write more clearly, fluently and professionally?

Our Royal Literary Fund Fellows offer confidential, one-to-one appointments for postgraduate research students & postdoctoral research staff.

They can help with a diverse set of skills, including:

Overcoming writer’s block
Accurate grammar
Thesis organisation & structure
Fluent academic style
Punctuation
Summary skills

You have taught me to approach editing as a craft rather than as a chore, something I am going to remember forever

Make an appointment

Appointments are available Tuesday to Friday during term time. Appointments will be available primarily on campus, however, some online appointments will be available - contact a Fellow to enquire.
