How to Edit Your Own Academic Writing

Are you close to a full draft of your article, book, or thesis? Does it resemble a baggy monster that needs taming? If so, this course is for you.

Through activities and tutorials, you’ll learn techniques for getting your writing into shape.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a perfectly polished chunk of writing and a clear strategy for tackling the rest of it.

This course is designed and presented by Dr Catherine Pope. Catherine is a coach, trainer, writer, and geek, who has worked with more than 4,000 researchers. She has recently published a book on How to Finish Your PhD. You can find out more at www.phdprogress.com.
