Brian Martin and Cally Guerin will describe two different methods for increasing your writing output. Brian will describe the High Output Writing programme (HOP) based on the research of Robert Boice and Tara Gray. Cally will describe the Shut-up and Write method, one of several tried-and-true group writing methods successfully used at ANU and elsewhere.

The aim of the seminar is to introduce you to these two methods and to give you an opportunity to decide which one is most likely to work for you and your circumstances. Both will also provide information about communities of practice that you can join or form to bolster your writing resolve.

More information about the HOP programme and group writing methods, along with other writing resources is available here (note you must be ANU staff or student to access these resources).
