Royal Literary Fund Fellows
Receive academic support from professional writers
Writing support is available from the Royal Literary Fund Fellows who are professional writers, appointed by the Royal Literary Fund (RLF).
They are available for one-to-one confidential tutorials with any student, of any discipline, who would like help with any aspect of their writing.
These tutorials can help with structure, improving academic style or simply making an essay read more fluently and effectively.
Whether a student has a specific problem to address, or is just lacking in confidence, the RLF Fellows offer time and space to work one-to-one on essays, dissertations and creative pieces.
