About this event

April can be deceiving.The days get lighter. The deadlines get louder.And your research starts to feel like something you should be doing faster — but aren’t.

This is where panic creeps in.Not because you’re lazy.Because you’ve been stretched thin for months — and the finish line is still blurry.

The April Online Writing Retreat gives you one day to write — without expectation, without adrenaline.

Not to “get ahead.”Just to land.To think, to focus, to do the deep work that can’t survive between admin, teaching, and inbox guilt.

Here’s what you’ll get:

  • Four live writing sprints
  • Clear but flexible structure
  • A group of researchers writing with you, not at you
  • Quiet confidence, built through real momentum — not motivational fluff

You don’t need a pep talk.You need a page — and a path back to it.

🔗 For ongoing support

Find me at PhD Progress Weekly on Substack, or LinkedIn — where we trade panic for pace, and pressure for presence.

Frequently asked questions

WHAT IF I'M OVERWHELMED BY LOOMING DEADLINES?

This is the perfect place to land. The retreat gives structure and clarity without adding pressure.

DO I NEED TO BE WORKING ON A SPECIFIC SECTION?

No. Whether you’re starting a new draft, revising a section, or just need to think on paper — this space holds it all.

FIRST TIME? NO WORRIES.

You’ll be guided through the whole day — no group sharing, no awkward intros, no required outcomes.

IS IT RECORDED?

No. We keep it live so you can stay present — no cameras required, no playback guilt.
