New to publishing or in need of some direction or coaching?

This three-day Writing Academy will help you to develop the skills required to improve the quantity and quality of your publications and to develop a publication strategy which best represents you as an academic.

You’ll have access to Patrick Brindle, an external consultant who will advise you on techniques and style. You will also have the opportunity to discuss your ideas and issues with your peers.

The program and objectives for Writing Academies are as follows:

Day 1. Planning and writing your research article

Day 2. Developing a Strategy for Getting Your Articles Published, Read and Cited

Day 3. Writing Day – to put into action everything discussed over the proceeding days

You will also have the opportunity to discuss your publishing goals and prepare a plan to accommodate writing within your day to day routines.
