Three Mornings to Write, Together!
Intensive writing can be particularly challenging: you need to make progress, resist distractions, maintain momentum and avoid procrastination.
The Writing Room offers you a protected space to focus on your writing for three consecutive mornings. You will come with a concrete writing goal; we will provide a structured schedule to help you protect your writing time and maintain focus, while the presence of other doctoral researchers will provide accountability, encouragement and a sense of shared progress.
Short check-ins and check-outs, small and stable Writing Circles, and informal moments for conversation will give you the opportunity to share goals, acknowledge progress and discuss the challenges you encounter along the way.
On Tuesday morning, an optional online yoga session (7:45–8:30) will offer those who wish to join a different way to start the day before settling into their writing.
What the Writing Room offers
- Three protected mornings dedicated primarily to your own writing
- Simple planning tools to help you set realistic writing goals and monitor your progress
- Structured writing blocks and regular breaks
- A stable group with whom to share goals, progress and challenges
- Small Writing Circles to support accountability and reduce isolation
- Informal opportunities to connect with other doctoral researchers
- One optional online yoga session
This activity is particularly suited to PhD candidates who are currently in an intensive writing phase and want to make concrete progress on a thesis chapter, article, or other substantial piece of academic writing.
The working language of the Writing Room is English, but you are welcome to work on a text written in any language.
