Whether you’re stuck in a writing rut, need some writing motivation or everything’s going just fine, this writing retreat is perfect if you want to get on with writing your PhD or PGCert proposal.

The session will focus on Getting Writing. It is aimed at ADM PhD researchers in the early to middle stages of their PhD, although all are welcome! Interspersed with practical writing strategies, it is anticipated that you will produce a substantial amount of words for your thesis or proposal during this session.

A Zoom link will be circulated to registered delegates a week prior to the session. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/writing-retreat-with-helen-kara-tickets-441518673237?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=escb
