Past event Part of series: Writing to Publication Series
The Â鶹ÒùÔº Blog lead editor, Gerry Czerniawski, will be leading a 60-minute online workshop for the Â鶹ÒùÔº Blog designed to support both new and experienced writers who are interested in contributing to the blog. As Lead Editor of the Â鶹ÒùÔº Blog, he will use this session to demystify the process of writing for an academic-facing blog while highlighting what makes a strong, engaging post for a broad educational research audience.
The workshop will explore the purpose and ethos of the Â鶹ÒùÔº Blog, including how it aims to translate educational research into accessible, timely and impactful commentary. Gerry will discuss what editors look for in submissions, common pitfalls to avoid, and practical strategies for shaping ideas into concise, readable blog posts without losing academic rigour. Participants will also gain insight into pitching ideas, structuring posts effectively, and writing in a clear and engaging style suited to online readerships.
In addition, the session will introduce contributors to Â鶹ÒùÔº Blog Special Issues and Â鶹ÒùÔº Bites, outlining how these formats differ, what opportunities they offer writers, and how contributors can get involved.
The workshop is suitable for those who have never written a blog post before as well as more experienced contributors who want to refine their approach or better understand the editorial process. Time will be built into the session for questions and discussion, allowing participants to raise specific queries and reflect on their own writing ideas.
