Increasingly, researchers wish to make writing a focused social activity with regular breaks in a productive environment that is supportive. In it, you will find an environment to write, share and discuss our processes of engagement with the craft of writing as part of a community of practice. Also there will be opportunities to gain access and share tools and suggestions which will add to the scope of your skills.
All the writing retreats are open to participants regardless of previous participation in writing retreats. New tips and areas of reflection will be encouraged, you will have the opportunity to share your experiences and insights, and, most importantly, you will write towards your own goals and interests.
To make the most of the writing retreat, you are invited to prepare your plan of what you are going to write during the two days and where you plan to publish/submit your work. Once you are registered you will be sent a form to complete focusing on your writing plan and goal for the retreat.
As the number of spaces is limited and this event normally sells out, even though this event is free for Âé¶¹ÒùÔº Members there is a £25 charge to secure your place, which will be automatically refunded once you attend the event. Please note that participants would need to commit to attend the entire retreat and to focus exclusively on writing. It is recommended not to be connected to email or search engines during the writing sessions.
