ORE Writing Retreat: From Proposals to Publications

The Office of Research in Education is pleased to share an opportunity for faculty, postdoctoral fellows, staff, and their students to write in a supportive environment. Bring your writing projects and write alongside others in this 2-hour, facilitated and structured writing retreat and co-writing space. Co-writing in this shared space will have attendees working on their writing projects independently, while surrounded by others doing the same.

A structured writing retreat can be an important part of the development of a regular writing habit – it can increase productivity, reduce stress, stimulate conversation, foster confidence, and improve the quality of our writing, according to academic writing retreat specialists (Murray, 2014; Murray & Newton, 2009). Those interested in attending can bring a range of writing projects to work on: proposals, publications such as chapters, books, reports, conference abstracts, grant-writing, curricula, practitioner articles, news articles, and all manner of social media.

Schedule

This Writing Retreat will last for two hours. Most of the duration will allow attendees to write and work independently, with scheduled breaks and a final debrief.
