If the thoughts in this video resonate with you, join us! You'll be in good company. You might even feel guilty prioritising this, but, you know you kind of should, you wouldn't interrupt a teaching session to answer an email, and yet it may have been years since you began that writing task, accepting all interruptions as the priority. It may be a paper, proposal, promotion application, HEA fellowship application or business cases. It deliberately pushes against the urge to just check emails, or catch up on admin. This writing programme intentionally sets aside two hours a week for six weeks so that a significant piece of work can move from being an exciting and important idea to being written. Participants' success so far have included conference acceptances, paper acceptances, appreciation of our own hard work, opportunities for reflection, overcoming writing difficulties and doubts, making progress, sharing with colleagues the turbulent writing journey, special issues, book contracts and finding the academic community they need to succeed. There is no obligation to come to all 6 sessions, it is very much a resource available for you when you need it, the community is friendly and supportive, a warm welcome awaits you. Click the link on the right to sign up and you will be added to the teams space and receive calendar invites for the next 6 weeks. Whether you've not joined before or popped along to one or two sessions and not managed to continue or attended every one, you are all invited to join cohort 9. Thank you all.ΔΆ022 Cohort 10 begins: The next cohort begins on Thursday 19th May. We have also grown internationally with two additional write spaces created by members for their own institutions, its a worldwide write space.

This space is open for you and moulded by you into the joyous thing that it is, please do share its existence with anyone who you think would benefit from it. We look forward to working with you all, new or old, regular or intermittent members over the next year too. We are academic writers and we are part of community of like minded peers supporting and encouraging each other and it is without doubt the highlight of my week. We have members who have completed or achieved promotions, fellowships, papers, citations, doctorates, books, articles, conference presentations and many many more outputs from this dedicated group and we are thoroughly delighted for you all! But as well as the output, the discovery of ourselves as writers and the emerging identity we are discovering under the layers of student focussed activity is hugely rewarding. The Write Space would not have flourished in the way that it has without your commitment to the group and we are delighted to share your writing achievements at the 6 week end points but also now, at this yearly point of reflection. A celebration of our fisrt year: Write space is officially a year old and Mairi and I would like to offer you our thanks for supporting the initiative as members, and at times, facilitators.
