More than a decade ago I was a PhD student in Translation Studies at University College London (UCL). In addition to working as a postgraduate assistant, I also joined The Writing Lab, UCL’s then newly founded writing centre, as a tutor. At the Writing Lab, we supported students of all degree levels in different ways, offering everything from 1:1 consultations to workshops on academic writing.
With the Writing Lab at Otherwhere Editing I aim to do something similar: I provide resources and support to help you improve your writing skills and increase your knowledge about scholarly publishing to help you succeed in your career. The Writing Lab is not just for individuals starting their academic career, looking for advice on turning their PhD into a book or seeking help with writing a rebuttal letter for the first time. Rather, it is for those who know that there is always something more to learn.
Currently, you can find the following here:
- Resources for Academic Writers: A database of a wide range of resources on academic writing, publishing, and more.
- Blog “Advice from the OWL”: Regularly published posts on different aspects of academic writing and publishing.
- The Otherwhere Writing Lab Newsletter (aka “OWL Notes”): Recommended reads, interviews with academics, updates on newly added resources, blog posts, and more.
If there are any resources you would like to suggest or topics you would like me to discuss in a blog post, suggestions are always welcome!
