VIRTUAL INFORMATION SESSION + 2 DRAFTING SESSIONS: ZOOM
This session introduces a still somewhat experimental workshop designed for writers to produce a draft article in 4 hours. We will explore the preparation for the two 2-hr writing sessions in February (2/23) and March (3/2). We ran a trial and a pilot of the workshop in Summer and Fall of 2022.

To learn about “Write at Speed” techniques, plan to attend the FEB 8 webinar for additional “draft quickly” techniques. Attendees will do best if they have all data, literature, and clarity of findings/analysis/interpretations. We will be bold and explore what is possible with preparation and deep work, together.
