<\/p>\nA hardworking group of postgraduate research students has recently returned from the April Writing Retreat hosted by AUT’s Graduate Research School.<\/p>\n
Writing retreats are like an intensive clinic for your writing. You can get one-on-one feedback from writing experts, discuss your work with other postgrad students, and enjoy plenty of distraction-free writing time. No chores, no flatmates, no family commitments. Just meals and accommodation provided for you, and a calming environment in which to work.<\/p>\n
Here’s what the participants had to say:<\/p>\n
“The retreat gave me the ‘head space’ to continue with my writing. It was wonderful to work without distractions and get help when I needed it.”<\/p>\n
“My learning has been immeasurable and I’m not sure how I could have developed my writing unless I had been here.”<\/p>\n
“A wonderful, transformative, and enriching experience for my practice.”<\/p>\n
Congratulations on your progress guys!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These retreats happen 2-3 times per year and are free to AUT postgraduate research students. You can apply for a place by contacting the Graduate Research School (grs@aut.ac.nz).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
