PK: Intensive Writing Process: From blank page to first draft

Please note that this course will take place on Zoom.

In this course, you take part in an intensive facilitated writing process. This lasts 8 highly structured and effective hours, and you write from a blank page to a draft, for example:

• A chapter of a book or dissertation,

• An exposé,

• A journal article,

• A lecture

• An application

The program is tough, effective, but very doable and a lot of fun. Invite the flow to your desk!

We will work in two morning sessions:

Day 1 9.15 a.m.-12.45 p.m. Raw Text production

Day 2 9.15 a.m.-12.45 p.m. Structure & Edits 

Please allow for more writing time in the afternoon, if possible.

You will receive more information about preparation prior to the day. Central to the concept is that we really begin with a blank page and then work our way towards the rough draft together. This is for you if you want to get a lot of work done, while learning new effective writing methods for future text projects!

Registration: 
In contrast to other workshops at the GCSC, we will ask for a participation fee of 35,-€. Please register on Stud.IP to be placed on the preliminary list. You may receive an automatically sent confirmation from StudIP – please note that this is not confirmation of registration. You will receive payment information via e-mail from Lena Nuechter. Registration is completed once the GCSC has received the money, and Lena will inform you once that is the case. 
Should more people register than places are available, we will as usual apply the first come, first served-principle. The deadline for registration is 13^th July 2019. Should you need further information or have questions, please contact Lena at lena.nuechter .

The format of this course is geared towards people who want to write a substantial amount of text without needing much time for research in between. In our experience, it works best for more advanced PhD students who already have a substantial amount of research/notes under their belt, or with any piece of writing for which your research is already (mostly) done.
