Join us for a lecture with Magnus Linton, renowned non-fiction writer and editor at the Institute for Futures Studies, tailored for researchers eager to explore the art of impactful writing.

Taking the step from the academic writing template to essayistic prose is very much a question of rethinking one’s ideas about a text’s meaning.     

What is discouraged in a peer review article may be considered stylistically appropriate in writing aimed for wider audiences.    

Which linguistic features typical of today’s academic writing should be avoided when the aim is to communicate with wider audiences?     

Magnus Linton, non-fiction writer and editor at the Institute for Futures Studies, elaborates on seven crucial points about using science in storytelling in his book, "Text and Style".
