Do you need some guidance and support in the writing of your essay, article, dissertation or report? Would you like to communicate more clearly in your writing?

 

Novelist and short story writer Peter Hobbs is the Royal Literary Fund’s Writing Fellow based at SGUL for 2009/10. He is available to advise undergraduates, postgraduates and staff on writing skills for anything from essays and SSCs to journal articles, theses and letters of application.

 

Peter can be found in Student Support Services on Hunter 2 (the room next to Counselling Services), on Mondays and Tuesdays during term time. He offers free one-to-one sessions of up to 45 minutes, by appointment. As he is independent of the university, any work you do with him will remain confidential.

However, his job is not to edit, rewrite or proofread your work, or to offer English language tuition.

 

If you would like Peter’s help with your writing skills, please book one of the appointment slots available on MOODLE. You can access the booking form by going to https://moodle.sgul.ac.uk/mod/scheduler/view.php?id=14877. Log in and click the button by the appointment day/time you would like, then click ‘Save My Choice’ (at the bottom of the page). 

 

To get the most out of your time, it is very useful if the Writing Fellow can take a look at a piece of your work beforehand. If you wish them to do this, please don’t submit by email, but leave it in the Fellow’s pigeonhole in the Students’ Union, Hunter 2, by 10am on the day of your appointment.
