Academic Writing Month - LTUacwrimo

Academic Writing Month at La Trobe turns 6!

If you would like to make progress on your academic writing, with like-minded colleagues, then this month-long festival of writing is for you. Academic Writing Month (AcWriMo) has been developed for all researchers at all levels (including graduate researchers), at every campus and externally.

Since 2013, the RED team has created a month-long, multi-campus and online program to enable and encourage academic writing: with events, blog posts, workshops, and conversation on Twitter around the #LTUAcWriMo hashtag.

Academic Writing Month culminates in a three-day writing retreat, held at both the Melbourne campus and the Albury-Wodonga campus . Run since 2015, this popular program facilitates you to work on your individual writing goals in a supportive environment. Travel and accommodation assistance are available for La Trobe researchers based regionally or externally.

At the Mildura campus a number of events have been organised. For more information and to register, please contact Brigitte Glossop -

· A two-day Writing Retreat on the 12^th and 13^th November

· A Professional Development day (research focused) on the 15^th of November at 29 Deakin

· Endnote refresher (7th November, 9-10am at 29 Deakin)

· Planning day with Katie Holmes in relation to the Campus Collective research project “The Meaning of Water”
