The event is aimed at providing insights on academic writing to doctoral students and early career researchers. Professor Killian will begin the event by sharing some insights on academic writing based on her distinguished writing career. This will be followed by Dr McBride sharing her insights on the usefulness of structured writing periods and writers’ retreats, before leading into the the writing retreat element of the event.
