Inspiration and support in your writing project 

Retreat overview:

It can be a struggle to write alone, whether you are working in a book, a thesis, an article, or a project proposal. So, we decided to organize an online writing retreat. To make sure we have plenty of time to focus on each person, we are keeping the group very small this first time – up to 6 participants.

If you join us, you’ll be among a small group of people facing a writing challenge and ready to o act as critical friends and help each other move forward, set goals, and celebrate mini wins. It is also a time for joint reflections on what’s working and what’s not, for looking at your project through a fresh set of eyes, and for gaining some creative inspiration.

Retreat outline:

The retreat is a mix of synchronous conversations (e.g., on Zoom) and asynchronous interactions (e.g., in a discussion forum). You create your own room in our shared online space, where you can invite colleagues to see something of your writing and to engage in chatting or thinking with you. We all meet synchronously for one and half hour twice a week, Tuesday and Friday (Wednesday and Saturday for Australia):

• California – week 1: 12:00-13:30 / week 2-4: 11:00-12:30 (summer time ends in the US after week 1)
• Baltimore – week1 15:00-16:30 / week 2-4: 14:00-15:30 (summer time ends in the US after week 1)
• Portugal – 19:00-20:30
• Melbourne – 06:00-07:30 Melbourne (+1 day)

The rest of the time is for individual writing, working in pairs or small groups, and personal reflections.
