Do you want to be more productive and motivated when it comes to academic writing? Would you benefit from supportive accountability to get in the chair, write, and do other research-related activities? Do you want to overcome internal and external barriers and build a strong foundation for being an academic writer?

The Academic Writers' Space is a vibrant, online coworking community where academic writers come together to develop a sound writing practice. They offer professionally facilitated writing retreats that combine the support of peers and the guidance of experienced writing coaches to create a structured environment for getting real work done.

How does it work? The format for All Writing Retreats Sessions (Held via Zoom) are as follows:

  • Opening - 10 minutes: Introduction to the theme of the week (e.g., resilience, self-compassion, planning and pacing, self-compassion, etc.) that provides a powerful context for awareness of how you can effectively engage with your work.
  • Work Session One - 45 minutes: Focused, independent time for organization, research, and writing.
  • Mid-Point Check-in - 10 minutes: An interactive opportunity to reflect, share, reset, and adjust your approach as you set your goals for Work Session Two.
  • Work Session Two - 45 minutes: Focused, independent time for organization, research, and writing.
  • Closing - 10 minutes: An interactive opportunity to reflect, share, and integrate the wisdom and lessons learned from the writing retreat.

Membership Fee: the fee for membership is $99 USD per month and can be cancelled at any time.
