Polishing Your Fellowship Application for Clarity, Concision, and Cohesion

One of the challenges of fellowship writing is how to use the space allotted to communicate clearly and concisely.  This hands-on workshop will provide participants with tips and practice on how to edit text without losing the integrity of their ideas.  

Learning Outcomes

Attendees will have the following opportunities during the session:

• to learn tips and strategies for editing
• to practice editing sample texts for concision, clarity, and cohesion
• to apply one or two techniques to a short sample of their own work

Instructions

To make the workshop as productive as possible, please identify 2-4 paragraphs of your fellowship application that you would like to improve (draft version is fine).

Facilitator

This workshop will be led by Sarah Wolfson, a Course Lecturer at the McGill Writing Centre with ten years of experience teaching composition and academic writing.
