Academic Writing Month – AcWriMo

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!

Check back here later in the year to see the AcWriMo offerings for 2026.

Getting involved

The 2025 program registration has closed. While you’re waiting for AcWriMo 2026 to launch, you can sign up for other workshops in the RED Program and come along to our weekly Shut up And Write (SUAW) sessions. To join, please email  red.grs@latrobe.edu.au and sign up for the SUAW mailing list.
