Academic Writing Workshops and Courses
As well as creative writing workshops (listed under EVENTS) and writing retreats in Tuscany (listed under WRITING ITALY) I lead academic writing workshops, immersive training and writing retreats for doctoral students in Science, Arts and Humanities. My aim is always to introduce postgraduates to writing techniques that will enable them to deliver their research to the widest possible audience. I am accredited to the Royal Literary Fund Consultant Fellowship scheme, and over the years I have worked with doctoral training partnerships and universities all over Britain.
STUDENT FEEDBACK
“This was one of the best online courses I’ve ever attended, it almost felt like an in-person event due to the small overall group size, the way the course leader constantly engaged us and sought dialogue as well as the numerous opportunities for discussions with our peers in small break-out groups.”
“As someone who came to this course with very little writing already, I have found the aspects that help you get words on the page or process your ideas extremely useful. I’ve got more content now than I’ve had in my whole PhD so far.”
“I loved the course! Helena was a wonderful and supportive tutor, and her wide array of techniques … are extremely useful, encouraging me to immediately begin deepening my thinking with exercises that I am certain I'll be able to easily incorporate into my everyday practice.”
“I really enjoyed the course. Helena was a really convivial group leader — inclusive, engaging and interesting to listen to.”
