Your space to pause, reflect, and write
What are the aims?
This online writing group offers a welcoming and supportive environment for academics to dedicate time to their writing projects. It is designed with sensitivity to those experiencing energy-limiting circumstances, whether due to health, disability, or caring responsibilities.

The group offers a dedicated and supportive space for you to make progress on your writing while connecting with peers. Whether you stay for the entire session or join for part of it, you'll leave feeling more productive and connected.
