5 You'll start enjoying writing.

😍 Studies have reported that academics who attend writing retreats feel more motivated and confident when it comes to writing and fear it less.

Anna Clemens, PhD @annaclemens.com · 4d

4 You'll get a writing community.

👩🔬👨🔬 Writing doesn't have to feel lonely. Writing with others in the same (virtual) room creates a sense of connection. Having a writing buddy is also great to get feedback on your writing!

Anna Clemens, PhD @annaclemens.com · 4d

3 You'll strengthen your identity as a writer.

🤓 Don't think of yourself as a writer? Attending a retreat will help you identify as a professional writer. And that's important because it'll help you start prioritising writing in your daily work.

Anna Clemens, PhD @annaclemens.com · 4d

2 You'll be able to focus on your writing in a creative and safe atmosphere.

🌳 Retreats are set up to get you that uninterrupted time and space to write. The effect is even bigger when you're off campus and somewhere in nature.
