The writing retreat will offer participants dedicated time and ‘space’ for the purposeful writing of products, such as articles or book chapters, in a supportive environment. The workshop is planned for researchers at any stage of their careers. Participants to the retreat will share:
To make the most of the writing retreat, you are invited to prepare the plan of what you are going to write during the two days in which the retreat will take place. Before the retreat you need to have decided what you are going to write and where you plan to publish your work.
Please note that participants would need to commit to attend the entire retreat and to focus exclusively on writing. There is a £25 charge, which will be automatically refunded once you attend the event.
You will be sent an application form once you have registered to complete.
