The Writing Hub is a gathering point for people interested in developing writing skills at Oxford Brookes University. It encompasses staff and students, our academic writers across the disciplines, our present or future professional writers and those at every stage of developing their writing. The Writing Hub provides a network for sharing writing development activities and hosts regular events and writing retreats. It is a supportive space in which to share experiences, adopt new techniques and get beyond the imperfections of first drafts to reach your full potential.
To join the Writing Hub mailing list, submit an event or say hello, please email writinghub@brookes.ac.uk.
Write Space Writing Retreats
Write Space writing retreats create a supportive, structured environment within which writers can meet a writing goal.
Whether face-to-face or online the format is the same: writers of any style and level create a sense of community containing plenty of quiet space to make progress with their writing. The group reflects together on the writing process at intervals, and there is always a Centre for Academic Development tutor available for participants to talk through their work.
Dates for the next series of virtual and in person writing retreats will be available early in 2026. Alternatively, if you are interested in facilitating a writing retreat yourself, we would be happy to talk this through with you and share any relevant resources.
