Please note: SRHE members must register separately for each session they wish to attend. Please log in to access the member registration rates. If you are attending as a guest, you only need to register and pay for one Space to Write session. This will give you access to all four sessions taking place during Academic Writing Month in November. After registering, please email us at srhe@srhe.ac.uk, and we will send you the joining links for the remaining sessions. There is no obligation to attend all four sessions.

Overview

SRHE once again marks Academic Writing Month (AcWriMo) with an online writing programme open to academics and practitioners in any discipline or field and at any career stage, including doctoral study. The programme offers protected space to write over four 90-minute online sessions and an opportunity for continuity of focus and connection with others. Participants will be strongly encouraged to set and review their writing goals and to share these with the group in advance of each session.

Each session will include brief visual check ins/check outs, but the majority of our time will be devoted to writing with cameras and mics off.

Facilitator bionote:

Dr Debbie Parker Kinch is a Senior Lecturer in English Literature at the Open University, UK. She has led the development of ‘Write Now!’ online student writing workshops and in-person writing retreats for academic staff within the OU School of Arts and Humanities. These projects have enabled her to examine the application of theories and practices from academic writing retreats to a range of teaching and staff development contexts. She is keen to promote the proven benefits of a reflective and community-centred approach to writing, to support academic writing skills and foster a supportive sense of belonging for students and staff working in the online distance-learning environment.
