Write Space virtual writing retreats
The next series of virtual writing retreats from the Writing Hub is between April and July. These create a supportive, structured environment within which writers of any style and level can meet a writing goal. You can pop into a break-out room to chat through any blocks to writing, and the group reflects together on the writing process before, during and after a good day’s work. In participants' words, Write Space is a "calm, stimulating, good-spirited, constructive and productive" place to work; you might also get ideas for how to start a writing group yourself, as some have.
The retreats are open to all Brookes staff and students. From 9.00am-4.00pm (or morning only) on:
- Wed 28 April
- Fri 28 May
- Fri 25 June
- Wed 21 July

Centre for Nursing and Midwifery Academic Writing Community
This regular online writing group meets twice a month and will be ongoing. It is for any member of staff, either highly experienced, intermediate, or a novice who wants to meet regularly in a supportive and nurturing environment to work on current writing projects which are not limited to journal articles alone. The group is also open to master's dissertation writers, professional doctorate students, and Ph.D. students.
The meetings will be on the first Wednesday of the month 17.00-18.30 and the third Friday of the month 10.00-11.30 and will take place in Zoom. Please contact mwaite@brookes.ac.uk if you would like to receive the invites and links.
All that is required of you is to show up to write.
