Royal Literary Fund Fellow Dr Ian Seed
Keen to improve your work? Not sure of the best way to structure an essay or presentation? Feeling stuck with an assignment?
If you’d like to write better, or if you’re simply seeking to enhance your fluency, clarity and style on paper, the Royal Literary Fund Fellow is here to help. The Fellow can offer one-off guidance sessions or more long-term support. Completing a simple form is all that’s required.
The Fellow is here for everyone at the University: all students, regardless of level or subject. Writing support is given in one-to-one 45min consultations that focus on good writing practice, style, technique and process, rather than content. This service is free, confidential, and entirely independent of the University.
