#AcWriMo

This is a great way to engage with other PGRs across the two communities, learn more about how to approach your writing, and get motivated! 

Share your writing tips

We would love our AcWriMo tips to come from you, so that we can share with our vibrant community the brilliant ways postgraduate researchers at GHER and DTA institutions capture and communicate their research.

To submit your writing tips, please complete this short form. 

If your tip is posted, you will also get the opportunity to have your LinkedIn profile and research area shared with our research community on LinkedIn (or choose to remain anonymous).  

These tips might include ways you stay motivated to write, how you keep up momentum,  how you best capture your thoughts, technical tips and resources, or anything else that helps you with academic writing!
