In-person Shut Up and Write | Clayton

Booking required, HDR postgraduate, Research Postgraduate, Seminars, On campus

Monthly in-person Shut Up and Write sessions where you prioritise your writing over everything else!

What is Shut Up and Write?

'Shut up and Write' (SUAW) as a concept was developed by a writing community in San Fransisco in the mid-2000s with the idea of using a support group to help with accountability and motivation. Today, SUAW sessions are held all over the world, with a great adoption in the academic writing community. 

Hosted by Jenn Wilson (an HDR student from the School of Media, Film and Journalism), there will now be monthly in-person SUAW sessions for HDR students at the Clayton campus.

Come and join your peers in these intense writing sessions. Light snacks will be provided. You can come and go within the session time.

How can I prepare in advance to get more done:

  • Have a writing plan and materials prepared (articles, notes, chart) so you are able to concentrate on your writing without any interruptions.
  • Set your own target of how much writing you want to achieve during the shut up and write session.
  • Focus on drafting new material for the thesis as opposed to editing, revising, or re-hashing existing content.
