Academic Writing Month - LTUacwrimo
The 2025 AcWriMo program
Every November, you’re invited to focus on all things writing-related during Academic Writing Month! The RED Team convenes a university-wide, month-long program of activities for La Trobe researchers. AcWriMo encourages you to prioritise your writing and set writing goals to see out the year.
We recognise that researchers are dedicated to academic writing throughout the year. AcWriMo enables us to clarify and recommit to our writing goals and surround ourselves with a community of writers who cheer us on.
Whether you need inspiration, motivation or support, there is something in the program for you! There’ll be writing workshops, sessions about research communication, an accountability register, and the famous RED writing retreat!
Here’s a taster of what’s on offer in 2025:
- What to do with reviewer 2.0?
- Managing Feedback on Writing
- Turning your Thesis into a Book
- Writing Opinion Pieces
- Turning Your Conference Presentation into a Publication
- Online Writing Retreat (18-20 Nov)
Getting involved
You are also invited to nominate your writing goals on a shared register, then record your daily progress (number of words or time spent on writing).
Read the RED Alert blogs that are full of great writing ideas.
Come along to our weekly Shut Up and Write sessions. To join, please email red.grs@latrobe.edu.au to sign up for the Shut Up and Write! (SUAW) mailing list.
All researchers at all levels are invited to participate. Choose whatever fits best into your schedule and writing plan. A light touch or major commitment – we just want to help people get their writing done!
NB: The AcWriMo writing retreat will be held on Tuesday, 18 to Thursday, 20 November this year.
