a burst of excitement and support around your academic writing practice, at the exact time of year where you need it the most. and it’s all free.

since 2018, I've hosted a month of free resources for academics called AcWriMo. Styled after National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. because academic writing can be so much more varied than writing the draft of a novel, and because academics normally don't need any more excuses to heap pressure on themselves, i frame it as a month to reconnect and deepen writing practices. there are workbooks, tracking dashboards, skill building opportunities, themed weeks of focus, and more - and all for free.

this year, i’m working with dr. kate henry to bring you a month of support and fun to help you care for your writing, and yourself. so much of academic writing is about how to produce more - and so little of it talks about how you take care of yourself in order to produce on that level and at that tempo. we are so excited to be bringing you tools, strategies, and frameworks to help you create in a more sustainable, and maybe even fun, way. writing doesn’t need to be all pushing and strain and toil all the time - and if your practice felt just 5% more satisfying, imagine how much easier it would be to do it regularly. and you just might find that when your writing practice is more pleasurable, your writing feels better, and comes more easily, too.
