Writing is a craft - even when we write non fiction, it is creative and expressive. How do we get our ideas onto the page? This workshop presents ways for you to develop as a thinker-writer, including strategies for drafting and redrafting, editing for content, structure and cohesion, and offers tips for proofreading your final document.
Please note this workshop is for enrolled Birkbeck students only, and you will require your student login details to access the workshop.
