RLF Writing Stand
On Wednesday 9 and Thursday 10 September, we are delighted to welcome Samanthan Wynne-Rhydderch who will be hosting a stand.
Samantha is the Royal Literary Fellow here at Aberystwyth.
The RLF Fellowship scheme for writers was launched in autumn 1999 and is based in UK universities. About 750 writers work as Fellows at over 100 different institutions. The principal aim of the Fellow’s work is to foster good writing practice across all disciplines and media by showing students how to write with clarity and flow. Typically, a student will see the Fellow, a professional published author, one-to-one, for 50 minutes.
Samantha can help with:
- Structuring an argument
- Writing clearer and more compelling prose
- Rewriting and editing
- Planning and time management
- Tackling the word count
- Critical thinking
- Paraphrasing
