Year 3 Online Writing Retreat (Day 1)

In Year 3 you need to write, so this three day retreat (two days, then one day a month later) kicks off a month-long, self-directed, writing-development programme. The timed writing sessions on all three days help you reflect on, and refresh, your writing process, and set more realistic goals. For motivatation and perspective, on Day 1 you'll also consider your whole PhD journey. Towards the end of Day 1, you'll share two pages of your text with another participant, together with a paragraph to give your text context. Within carefully structured parameters, peer feedback will be given in breakout rooms at the start of Day 2. Day 2 also includes more timed writing sessions and short sessions on boosting productivity. At the end of Day 2 you'll create a writing-development plan for the next month. On Day 3 we’ll review progress, reinforce techniques and, in a mutually supportive space, participants can share tips for moving forward to completion.

This is one part of a three day course. The dates of all three sessions are as follows:

Day 1: 29 January 2024

Day 2: 30 January 2024

Day 3: 26 February 2024.

Please ensure you have signed up to all three days of the session.
