Target Audience: For academics, researchers, and knowledge exchange staff looking for protected time and space to work on writing.

The bulk of the two 90-minute weekly hybrid sessions--offered in person in Graham Hills 451 and on Zoom simultaneously at 10.30-12.00 and 13.00-14.30 every Friday--are given over to writing together. The brief social aspect—beginning and wrapping up each session—is designed to provide continuity and encourage commitment to, and completion of, writing tasks.

 In this informal social writing workshop, participants will have the opportunity to work either in-person or virtually alongside others engaged in academic research writing. Attendees are encouraged to use whatever techniques (e.g. Pomodoro) and tools work best for them to ensure continued engagement and productivity--in brief, to get writing done.

 One-on-one support and mentoring is available upon request. Above all, the sessions provide an opportunity for attendees to participate in a supportive community of writers, one focused on making the writing process more effective and productive. Come to one, come to both, come every week: we'll look forward to seeing you there.

Course Outcomes/ Objectives:
