Thesis/Dissertation Writing Boot Camp

Location: Writing Center LIB-024

Write 5,000 words in a day … Impossible? Not at Thesis/Dissertation Writing Boot Camp!

Are you in the final ‘write- up’ stage of your thesis or dissertation? Finding it tough maintaining momentum, carving out time to write to meet your thesis/dissertation deadline? Perhaps you are looking for guaranteed distraction-free time to just sit down, without interruption, to get this thesis done!

We’ve got you covered.

Join the first AUS Thesis/Dissertation Writing Boot Camp.  Boost your motivation and increase your word count.  Walk away with a chapter or section draft that you can later edit.

This is a full day event focused entirely on a no-excuses, no-time-for-procrastination, take-no-prisoners intensive day of writing. Not for the faint-hearted, Boot Camp recruits will battle through writer’s block and thesis fatigue to achieve significant progress on their manuscript.  This full day is about writing with scheduled time for de-stress in between.

Note! Seats are strictly limited, you need to apply and meet specific criteria for selection.  
  
 Signed applications (requiring your supervisor’s endorsement signature) must be sent to:  infolit@aus.edu by the application deadline:  5:00 pm, November 3, 2024.

Acceptances will be confirmed via email by 5:00 pm, November 5, 2024.

Please note that in confirming acceptance, you will be required to complete a pre-program writing plan that will help you commit to personal, tangible writing aims for the day. 

A survival information kit with guidance for preparing your writing plan will be sent to confirmed applicants in advance to help you fully prepare.  This day will be catered with lunch and refreshments generously provided by the Office of Graduate Studies.  It will also include a preliminary session led by Department of English / Writing Center colleagues. 

We look forward to receiving your application!
