Academic Writing Month - LTUacwrimo

The 2024 AcWriMo program will be released in October

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 know that researchers are committed to academic writing all year long. 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, publishing talks, sessions about research communication,  themed blogposts, and the famous RED writing retreat!

All AcWriMo events appear in the RED workshop schedule where you can reserve your place. A summary of AcWriMo-specific events is provided below.
