Academic Writing: Reduce Anxiety

This popular academic writing workshop is a unique practice-based 7-step strategy, developed by Dr Catriona Ryan (SFHEA) which turns the traditional approach to academic writing on its head. It has helped many PhD researchers over the years to overcome writers block and build confidence as academic writers. The focus is on argument construction and removing blocks that generate writing apprehension. It is important that all participants attending have a writing project to focus on as the session is practice-based.

All testimonials may be viewed on Dr Ryan’s website: www.scriptorcube.com.

Dr Ryan won the UK Enterprise Award 2025 for: Best Academic Writing and Research Platform 2025!
