Get Help with your Academic Writing from a Professional Writer
Royal Literary Fund (RLF) fellows are professional, published writers placed in universities throughout the UK to advise students on their academic writing.
Our RLF Fellow offers free, confidential support to postgraduate research students.
Possible topics might include:
- making the most of your research
- structuring your argument
- writing clearly
- critical thinking
- rewriting and editing
- how to find your writing “voice”
Please note that this service:
- Is only available to students currently in the UK (you cannot have an online session when you are abroad).
- Is not suitable for students who require specialised English language help (e.g. TEFL, EAP) who should seek help from the university.
- Is not suitable for students seeking specialist help relating to disability or neurodiversity.

Appointments with RLF Fellows are:
- 50-minute, one-to-one sessions
