Academic Writing Month (AcWriMo)
Need to get some writing done before the end of the year?
All Deakin researchers are invited to join Academic Writing Month (AcWriMo) in November!
AcWriMo is a themed month that brings together researchers from across the university to focus on topics relevant to academic writing and to get writing done. The Researcher Development Academy (RDA) is creating a diverse range of workshops for researchers around topics related to writing and publishing. These include strategies for pre-writing, how to deal with reviewers’ comments, blogging your research, planning your writing, multiple Shut Up and Write sessions, and much more.
In 2024, Deakin is collaborating with La Trobe University for AcWriMo, so there’s double the programming available to our researchers and many opportunities to get to know other research colleagues at each university!
One of AcWriMo’s key highlights is a 3-day writing retreat that is run in the final week of November. If you’re interested in attending, clear your diaries and save the dates!
