Upcoming event
This writing retreat will create a productive environment for participants to write. There are quiet spaces to write, with short spaces to share tips and tools, to overcome writing blocks, and to discuss your progress in a community of practice. This space is open to researchers at all stages of your career, and opportunity to attend regardless of previous participation in writing retreats.
To make the most of the writing retreat, participants will be invited invited to prepare a plan of what they are going to write during the two days and where they plan to publish/submit their work.
