Academic Writing Programme
The initial LDC Academic Writing Programme started in 2011, in response to requests by Post-Docs across the University. The remit has now increased to include all Research Active Staff.
This collaborative programme, with Rochelle Sibley from the Warwick Writing Programme, has proved popular and effective in meeting researcher needs: developing this vital academic skill as we aim to support more research active staff at Warwick.
The activities are offered in addition to existing academic writing support found in Faculties and Departments, as we aim to meet needs identified across disciplines: engaging with a specific writing issue, or developing an idea into a deliverable project.
The academic writing provisions for 2014/2015 will include:

Academic Writing Workshops
2 Day Academic Writing Retreat "Bootcamps" 2- Day Academic Writing Retreat "Bootcamps" will also be offered, which have proved popular and productive for researchers over the last two years. These offer research active staff the space, time and support (if needed) to focus exclusively on their writing. The two days are structured to allow participants to discuss their research and writing strategies with research staff and their writing tutor, and most importantly to have dedicated writing time. Writing away days may be of benefit to those beginning a new project and to research staff who wish to focus on editing existing work or producing a piece of work from existing research.
