Are you a student who is struggling with academic writing? Are you a staff member who knows of a student who isn’t quite getting the hang of writing at University level?<\/p>\n

Perhaps you need to book an appointment with our Royal Literary Fund Fellow<\/a><\/strong>. Mary Paulson-Ellis<\/strong> is a well-respected expert in the field of writing, and has been a writing mentor, workshop leader, tutor and writer-in-residence for many organisations including the National Centre for Writing, the National Galleries of Scotland and the Edinburgh International Festival. She is also a committee member for the Society of Authors in Scotland, and student feedback from her first semester working at Edinburgh has been enthusiastically positive. She specialises in helping students in any discipline hone their writing skills and she does this by arranging one-to-one appointments with students in the Main Library.<\/p>\n

The service is free, confidential and individual to each student’s needs. To find out more about the service you can visit our RLFF page<\/a><\/strong>, or to book an appointment please email Mary directly.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
