Student Shout Out Home

Free support from Royal Literary Fund Fellow Caroline Corcoran

As part of an educational initiative to allow writers to share their expertise, the University has a Royal Literary Fund (RLF) Fellow – and our Fellow for the next two years is author Caroline Corcoran.  
 
Caroline is an internationally published Sunday Times bestselling author whose work has been translated into multiple foreign languages and sold around the world. Caroline can support students at all levels of study with all aspects of their writing, such as structuring an argument, making writing clearer, more precise, and improving style and flow.

The service is:

• free
• confidential
• one-to-one

What the RLF Fellow offers:

  • 50-minute one-to-one tutorials.
  • A friendly, independent, and confidential service.
  • Advice based on your writing and tailored to your needs.

What the RLF Fellow does not offer:

  • Reading the totality of a lengthy piece of work – much can be gained from a professional writer looking at an extract of your work in its finer details.
  • Teaching English as a Second Language, or provide specialist support for specific learning abilities.

More information available here: https://www.rlf.org.uk/institution/university-of-chester/

To book an appointment, email: caroline.corcoran@rlfeducation.org.uk. She is available Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10am till 4pm.
