Physics writing resources and practice

Are there any good resources (i.e. books, YouTube channels, websites, etc) for learning how to write physics essays and relevant practice? I want to develop my ability to write essays at a level of quality expected at university and as an opportunity to practice using LaTeX.

Fairbairn and Winch 'reading, writing and reasoning' - it is quite a pricey book but you could borrow it from your town library over summer.

I'd expect you'll mostly be assigned to write reports rather than essays but the book will help you with both.

Make sure you take advantage of any study skills sessions going when you start uni, these are about teaching you how to produce academic writing that doesn't get you told off for plagiarism.
