Protected writing time to progress on projects Opportunities for protected and focused writing time in a structured and supportive environment to progress on projects. These sessions are not writing workshops, they are simply a dedicated space and time to write, strengthened by accountability and peer support. Participants should come to the session with an idea of what they are going to be working on and be ready to switch off other distractions to just write. There are a variety of writing retreats to choose from to suit your schedule and needs, both online and hybrid. We also offer Narrative CV writing retreats with more support and information around what they are and what they need to include. These will run twice a year, once per semester.
