BERA-BAICE Writing for Publications Workshop

2 Mar 2018

This event is now fully booked. Please email events@bera.ac.uk if you would like to receive notice of changes in availability or similar events.

This workshop is targeted at PGRs and ECRs who are relatively new to the ‘Academic Publications World’ and who lack experiences in writing for academic journals, newspapers, and publishers. The event aims to introduce fresh writers to general principles and techniques of writing for publications, as well as to provide them with hands-on, tailored support suitable for their experiences and specific areas.
