Writing Advisory Service

The Writing Advisory Service provides personalised feedback on your written work throughout the year.

You'll be able to get comments from an experienced academic tutor on the organisation and clarity of your ideas, academic style and frequent language mistakes. The idea is that you learn from your mistakes and through implementing the suggestions that the tutors give you.

How does it work?

  • Choose an assignment or piece of written work that you want advice about. It can be up to 5,000 words – so could be a section of your dissertation or a chapter of a PhD, or just a part of a piece of written work.
  • Email WritingAdvisoryService@brighton.ac.uk and ask to be enrolled. Please provide your student ID number, university username, your school and course details.
  • We'll send you instructions on how to access and use the Writing Advisory Service.
  • Upload your document!
  • Allow five to ten working days for us to review your work – the service can be very busy (working days are Monday-Friday, not including weekends or holidays).
I used the Writing Advisory Service in the second semester and I was really pleased. The tutor reviewed two of my reports, not just grammatically correcting them, but also giving me really good advice on how to improve structure and ways of expression.

Need to know...

  • You can use the service for one assignment or piece of written work per semester.
  • The service uses Turnitin. Our experienced academic tutors will review your work and provide personalised feedback.
It was a great additional service to improve my writing style, especially since I am an international student. The feedback was well-structured and easy to understand. Overall I am very thankful for this service and would advise every international student to use the service in order to improve their writing and language skills for the future.
