Are you struggling to get started with your academic writing? Or have you hit a block? If so, this intensive one-day writing retreat can help you get back on track and make significant progress with your chapter, article or book. You get the time and space to focus. With guidance from an experienced facilitator, you’ll set realistic goals and achieve them in a supportive environment.

It's important to note this is an intensive writing environment and the focus is on productivity, not on style. If you want more general help with improving your academic writing, one of the RSO or RDP writing sessions would be more appropriate for you.

Tea and coffee are provided throughout the day but you will need to bring your own lunch.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the retreat you will have:

• a better understanding of your writing process and habits
• strategies for improving your focus
• techniques for planning and measuring progress
• a peer group
• a big chunk of writing!

Target audience

Postgraduate researchers at all stages, and early career researchers, from all disciplines.

This retreat is facilitated by DDr Fawzia Haeri Mazanderani, Associate Faculty (Education) from the School of Education and Social Work.
