ORE Writing Retreat: From Proposals to Publications

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 almost 3-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 2 hours and 45 minutes. Most of the duration will allow attendees to write and work independently, with scheduled breaks and a final debrief.
