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!
