Writing Week - May 17, 2013
Designed to support faculty members in their scholarly writing, Writing Weeks are typically held in February, May and August. Each Writing Week consists of 3 components:
Workshop: A kick-off workshop where speakers are invited to speak on a particular topic/theme related to scholarly writing.
Drop-in and Write: During the “Drop-in & Write” week faculty members can come together and write in a relatively distraction-free environment with their fellow colleagues.
Editorial Services: Participants of each Writing Week programme will have access to an editor who will work with them on their manuscript.
For more information, please contact Sarah Bukhari (sarah.bukhari@ryerson.ca).
