What is the Real Academics Writing Retreat?
The writing retreat is structured time to get your writing done.
Please note that a writing retreat is not a class or a structured feedback, editing, or coaching session. However, you may receive some informal feedback and ideas during the retreat.
You'll enter a supportive space to focus on your writing goals and needs.
You’ll be motivated to get your writing done alongside others and make progress toward your academic career goals! (Need we say more?)
You’ll learn and apply time-tested and research-based tools and strategies you can use to increase your writing productivity along the way.
You’ll meet other writers.
You’ll be able to conveniently log in from any location since it the writing retreat is virtual (write in your PJ’s – we don’t mind!)

We use a waiting room for everyone logging in to the retreat.
If you are waiting to be admitted, please be patient as sometimes we don’t see the pop up informing us you are in the waiting room right away.
If you come in during writing time (i.e., NOT on the hour), we may not see you right away as we may be focused on writing or away from our desks. So, please be patient.
If you come on the hour and are waiting for more than 5 minutes or so, please just send us an email (or text if you have our number): inforealacademics@gmail.com. Thanks!
