Professional Writing 2006

Over the course of four years at York I had some wonderful experiences in class, on campus, in residence, with professors and with fellow students.

I really liked that, thanks to one of my Professional Writing courses, I left undergrad having already learned and used traditional copy editing marks. The programme also ensured that I had delved into elements of style, which is an essential issue when it comes to writing. One of my favourite classes was Literary Non-Fiction. It's a genre of writing that is often overlooked and we had the chance to, both, study examples of this compelling genre and to write in it.

The advice I'd give new students is to enjoy themselves, to explore whatever they want to during this time - try new things, be engaged - alongside studying. In the end, grades only count for so much, it is the experiences you carry with you for years afterwards that matter most.
