What is a PhD virtual writers retreat?
This virtual writing retreat provides a block of time (2 hours each day over 5 days) to focus on the writing process. By writing within a community of other PhD students the aim is to facilitate your progress through mutual motivation and communal accountability. 
This virtual event will be facilitated by a senior academic who can offer advice at each break as questions arise relating to the retreat. It is also an opportunity to meet with peers and discuss opportunities, challenges or strategies for writing. Within the writers retreat, a formal discussion session facilitated by a senior academic will take place on a topic relating to the PhD or writing process e.g. managing writers block, strategies for writing. The retreat will be hosted via zoom. Zoom details will be shared closer to the date.
