RSA Online Writing Group

The aim of  the RSA Online Writing Group is to provide RSA members and interested participants with a space to continue working on draft papers, chapters and theses. This new initiative is led by the RSA Student Representative Vanessa Guerra and RSA Early Career Representative Frances Brill.

Online writing sessions were initially set up by PhD communities in San Francisco, and have spread globally since. During the two-hour long RSA Online Writing Group sessions we will have time for a brief informal chat and get to know one another, followed by an intense writing period. Afterwards, there is the opportunity for a virtual chat over coffee or tea. The sessions are open to anyone, but places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis with preference given to current RSA members.

The type of writing is open – you might want to work on tricky paper revisions that keep eliding you, that proposal to transform your thesis into a manuscript, or a first draft of your methods. It will be a chance to reflect on approaches to writing in academia, informally, with other scholars.
