The Writing Centre and New College are running two 2-hour Proposal Writing workshops designed to help clarify the process and help you make progress. Writing proposals at the Graduate-Level carries with it a whole array of expectations that are often unclear.
These workshops are designed to clarify some of what those expectations entail, and to help you develop strategies to better navigate the demands of proposal writing to set you up well for your longer-form projects. A one-to-one appointment with the Writing Centre graduate writing specialist (at a time of your choosing) is included so that you’ll also receive targeted and detailed feedback on your draft.
