The Writing Clinic

Welcome to the Writing Clinic. We aim to support colleagues in the Language Centre and the School with their writing, and publication activities. The writing clinic is also an opportunity for us to explore the reviewing process, the criteria used to evaluate publications, and the more personal aspect of reviewing and being reviewed.

The Clinic consists of 8 members: Caroline Campbell, Laura Dyer, Millie Walkova, Thuy Thai, Charles Lam, Olive Nabukeera, Laetitia Monbec and Alba Del Pozo García.
