Writing & Publication

We offer a range of workshops to support you with the different types of writing expected in and beyond academia. We also provide writing retreats, including programmes aimed specifically at supporting neurodiverse students.

We also have online resources on writing & publication if you are looking to study in your own time, and one-to-one writing tutorials are available with Royal Literary Fund Fellows.
