Make months of progress—in days.

Writing your dissertation is challenging work. You might have trouble finding time to write. Maybe you need help with research methods. Perhaps you need thoughtful feedback on your writing. Or you may simply need to increase your confidence and motivation to move forward.

The Dissertation Writer's Retreat offers the environment and support you need to make progress.

Focus, inspiration, and support

At the retreat, dissertation writers benefit from:

  • 5 days of writing time in a distraction-free environment
  • Valuable feedback and inspiration from faculty and peers
  • 1-to-1 support from writing faculty, librarians, and research methodologists

You can save time and money by completing your dissertation sooner—and attending a writer's retreat could help you do that. Read success stories.
