School of Biological Sciences Writers in Residence
The School of Biological Sciences has three ‘Writers in Residence’ who are funded by The Royal Literary Fund. They are:
Susan Barker (Susan.Barker@manchester.ac.uk)– Thursday and Friday
Amanda Dalton (Amanda.Dalton@manchester.ac.uk)– Monday and Tuesday
Tania Hershman (Tania.Hershman@manchester.ac.uk) – Wednesday
The writers in residence can help you with any aspect of your writing including things such as ‘‘how do I start?’ ‘how do I structure a complex essay’ ‘ why am I getting poor marks for my essay writing?’
All you need to do is to bring along a piece of your writing and they will discuss with you on a one to one basis how to resolve the problems that you are having with your piece of writing.
The Writers in Residence are based in the Simon Building. Please see the BIOL10000 Blackboard site for further information about the writers’ expertise and instructions for appointment booking.
