The Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages has a dedicated Fellow in post to assist students with their writing skills and academic literacy. MML students at any level of study (from first year to postgraduate) – and staff – are welcome to book a session with Elizabeth Lowry.

As a Royal Literary Fund (RLF) Fellow, Elizabeth is a professional writer who can help you improve your academic writing and make the whole process more enjoyable. Each session lasts 50 minutes and is free and confidential: this service is independent from university services for students.

Possible topics for discussion include:

  • understanding the title and scope of the question
  • planning your essay, dissertation or report to meet the word count
  • critical thinking
  • writing clearly, including help with grammar and sentence structure
  • using AI appropriately
  • rewriting and editing your work so that you continue to gain in confidence.

You are very welcome to contact Elizabeth with any specific needs you have.
