Academic Writing Guidance
with Trish Cooke, Royal Literary Fellow

Do you need help with your academic essay writing?
My name is Trish Cooke and I am the University of Huddersfield's Royal Literary Fellow. I am a published playwright and children's book author employed by the Royal Literary Fund to help students with their academic essay writing.
The Royal Literary Fund Fellowship scheme was conceived with the intention of placing professional writers in higher education institutions. The principal aim of the Fellow's work is to foster good writing practice across disciplines and media.
Please note that RLF Writing Fellows do not undertake proofreading or English for Academic Purposes (EAP) tuition.
Sessions are on a one-to-one basis and last for 50 minutes. I am available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for online chat appointments.
Please email Trish to arrange an appointment at trish.cooke@rlfeducation.org.uk from your University email address.
Further support from the Royal Literary Fund (RLF)
The RLF have also created some useful resources for students, including:
- The Alex Essay Tool website – also available as an app.
- Their Facebook account ‘RLFeducation' which provides tips and links all about good writing practice.
