Finding your authorial voice
Saturday 13th September 2025, 12-5pm BST
This dialogic workshop led by Dr Panos Theodoropoulos (published with Polity Press and editor with Interregnum) will focus on writing beautifully without sacrificing scientific rigour and complexity.
Authorial voice is the unique style that comes to form a writer’s identity on the page. It is often forgotten or ignored in discourse on academic writing, which often presumes writing to be a mere objective presentation of evidence.
In this four-hour workshop, we will interrogate the epistemology and social context of writing, and explore the different audiences that we are writing for. Participants will be guided to review, dissect, and discuss different styles of academic writing, leading to a nuanced understanding of the techniques used therein.
We will then consider what makes one's 'authorial voice', with participants being encouraged to try and incorporate different styles of writing into their work.
You will gain:
- An understanding of how to balance academic writing with original expression
- Techniques to identify your own and others’ writing styles
- Skills to develop your authorial voice in your academic writing
This will be a five-hour workshop including a one-hour break.
Participation costs:
£60 for permanently employed academics
£40 for precarious workers / funded PhD students
£20 for unemployed workers / unfunded PhD students
FUNDING OPTIONS:
We offer a limited number of scholarships to people in need. We don’t ask for specific financial information - please just email us with a few sentences about how your writing practice would benefit from the course and why financial assistance would help you in your writing journey. Contact us: info@editingcooperative.com with the subject line “authorial voice”
The pay-it-forward model will help to fund the scholarships, so the more people who pay-it-forward, the more support we can offer to those in need!
This workshop will take place on Google Meet. Participants will receive an email link to join.
