Academic writing can be a challenging endeavour often carried out in isolation. Writing groups can offer a supportive environment of peers working toward similar goals, as well as structure and dedicated time and space conducive to writing productively. Regular participation in a writing group can hone your skills and keep you accountable to your goals via regular peer feedback. It can also create networking opportunities within and across subject disciplines.

The focus of this workshop is on creating and running writing groups, but it is also suitable for those who are interested in participating in writing groups and want to get the most out of their experience. We will cover the potential formats and aims a writing group might wish to pursue and provide some tips and tools for facilitating writing workshops and managing group dynamics.

During this workshop, you will also have the opportunity to network with participants from King’s College London.

Facilitators: This workshop will be delivered by Tom Rusbridge (King’s College London Centre for Research Staff Development) and Nicole Horst (University of Cambridge Postdoc Academy). They will be joined by Camice Revier (Department of Psychiatry) who will share her experiences of setting up and running the successful Cambridge Virtual Academic Writing Group.

The postdoc RD team offer one-to-one meetings online for all postdocs. These meetings will be tailored to your individual needs and provide an opportunity to consider and discuss a variety of topics relating to learning, skills and personal development. This is not an exhaustive list but areas for discussion could include:

Managing your time whilst working from home

Collaborating effectively

Maintaining resilience and coping strategies

Reflecting on and identifying your key areas for development

Each meeting will last for up to 45 minutes and will be conducted online using MS Teams.
