Writing Bonanza

Do you need to write about your research? Do supervisors keep suggesting changes? Research writing has different challenges from other kinds of writing: the concepts are very complex, the amount of information is vast, and the stakes are high. In these two-hour workshops, we show you how to do this through implementing practical strategies that are efficient and effective, resulting in writing of the highest quality.

This two-hour session will show you how to pitch your stories to these outlets and write them in a way that will leave the audience wanting for more.
