Target Audience: All staff

This recurring, weekly Virtual Writing Retreat offers all staff the opportunity to block out time to focus on their writing in a supportive virtual environment.

Intended to help participants engage with their writing and achieve their writing goals, four 90-minute sessions are staged throughout each week.

Each session is unstructured to allow participants to freely make the best use of their time.

Participants can join in any of the four weekly Zoom Meetings at any stage.

The retreat is supported by Dr. Stuart Boon, who leads OSDU’s academic writing courses, and he will be available via online chat.

The Virtual Writing Retreat represents an opportunity to increase your productivity, stay on track with your writing, and draw on peer support to achieve your goals.
