NU Women Writing Groups 2022/23

NU Women are running writing groups again for the 2022-23 academic year! The format will be the similar to previous years: 3 hours, no phone, no browsing the internet. They will commence with a 15-30 minute discussion about challenges, writing strategies etc and goal setting; followed by 2 1/2 hour writing; and then a 5 minute check in at end to report on what was achieved. These writing groups will meet once a week during term time for the whole academic year.

If you’d like to set aside some dedicated writing time each week in a supportive group of women from across the University, please sign up here before 17th October.

If you are interested, please can you indicate which times you would be able to attend and we will set up the groups (with a membership of around 5-15). The groups are self-run, so we would like one or two people to nominally lead each group, e.g to set up a recurring zoom meeting/room booking and to do introductions etc. Please can you indicate if you would be happy to do this.

The groups are open to all women employees who engage in academic writing. Where possible, separate groups will be set up for PGR students and PS colleagues. We will also try to accommodate peoples’ preferences for meeting online or in-person.
