Ten steps to academic writing success: An efficient (and enjoyable) strategy to write, submit and publish

Course description

Graduate students can feel overwhelmed at the thought of writing their thesis or journal articles. This often means they avoid their writing altogether or waste countless hours sitting at the computer with writer’s block. The result is writing at the very last minute and then submitting something that has been produced in a hurry. Unfortunately, supervisors, reviewers and examiners can probably tell if they are reading something that is a first draft rather than a more polished piece.

This ten-step academic writing framework helps writers break down the writing process into manageable chunks. By following this proven process, you can get started on your document with confidence much earlier and produce a high-quality piece of writing with way less stress.

And, once you see yourself as a person who is knowledgeable and who has something interesting to say, you can even learn to enjoy the writing process!

By the end of this workshop, you will:

• understand the publishing process
• value your time and expertise
• know how to write using short bursts of time
• understand the different stages of editing
• be able to submit, despite the fear
