Beskrivning
Writing in Social Spaces is about making time and space for writing, while writing with other people. Even those who want to write, who know how to write well and who have quality publications, report that they cannot find enough time for writing. This book offers quick and long-term solutions to this problem, using in-person, online and hybrid writing retreats, writer’s groups, writing workshops and courses on academic writing.This updated second edition uses practical approaches throughout and offers strategies, formats and tips for productive writing that have been tried and tested in many different settings and countries and with writers at different levels and in different professions. This edition has new chapters on sustaining the benefits and maintaining well-being during intensive periods of writing as well as how to run writing workshops, develop writing courses and use social writing to support writing and writers in academic and professional settings.Using case studies and vignettes of writing in social spaces to illustrate the theory in practice, this book is a valuable resource for academics, scholars, professionals and practitioners, as well as researchers at all stages of their career, and in all disciplines.

This book beautifully shows why the social life of writing matters. For students, supervisors and facilitators alike, it offers a generous account of how we might better curate the spaces, times and relationships that allow writing to emerge. Welcome to Rowena’s world! (you will want to stay awhile).Professor Inger Mewburn, Director of Researcher Development, Graduate Research School, Australian National University.Writing in Social Spaces provides an accessible and practical blueprint to build your academic writing practice. By joining together pockets of time, instilling habits to creating structure from a tangle of thoughts, and celebrating micro successes, Rowena Murray proves again and again that social writing works.Dr Susanna Harris, Senior Lecturer in Archaeology, School of Humanities, University of Glasgow, UK.This is a truly inspiring book that demonstrates the transformative potential of social writing for academics and professionals, grounded in both in-depth research and lived experience. Writing in Social Spaces – most especially drawing upon the ‘Murray method’ of retreat writing – has profoundly shaped and advanced my own practice, enhancing the quality and productivity of my writing, sharpening my focus, sustaining momentum, and enabling me to write with greater clarity and confidence. I highly recommend this important book to all writers and teachers everywhere.Professor Caroline Gatrell, Professor of Work, Organisation and Management, University of Liverpool, UK.Writing in Social Spaces has been transformative in my attitude towards writing. Writing socially helped shape my identity from someone who was supposed to know-but-didn't-know-how to do this mystical thing called academic writing, to someone who now feels confident enough to say I am a writer. Writing in Social Spaces clearly sets out a framework for successful social writing and is an invaluable resource for people want to develop confidence in scholarly writing while supporting others to do the same.Dr Kirstin Stuart James, Senior Lecturer and Director of Online Learning and Teaching, Graduate School, College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences, University of Glasgow, UK.This is a warm, refreshing take on writing that challenges the idea of scarcity and opens up new ways of thinking about voice and practice. Full of practical, usable ideas, it’s a brilliant companion for writers at any stage. A thoughtful and engaging guide that makes writing feel accessible, social, and possible. With its supportive tone and practical insights, it’s a valuable resource for anyone looking to grow as a writer.Dr Yvonne Skipper, Senior Lecturer in Psychology, School of Education, University of Glasgow, UK.Writing in Social Spaces was and is ahead of its time – a vocational life changer for me! It not only names the complicated experiences associated with becoming a more successful academic writer but also provides us with exciting resources we can actually use to develop our scholarly writing capabilities. Unlike many other academic writing guides, Writing in Social Spaces insists that our future writing successes are rooted in our commitment to social interaction and support, and not, as would many have it, in isolation and detachment.Emma Davenport, Head of Student Experience and Academic Outcomes, School of Architecture, Art and Design (AAD), London Metropolitan University, UK.
