Entry Points: Ways to Begin Your Scholarly Writing Session

Starting a scholarly writing session can often feel like staring at a blank page with no clear path forward. This interactive workshop addresses one of the most common challenges academic writers face: knowing how to begin each writing session productively and with purpose. Whether you're working on a dissertation, journal article, book manuscript, or conference paper, having reliable strategies for launching into your writing can transform both your productivity and your relationship with the writing process. Participants will explore multiple entry point techniques, from quick warm-up exercises and outline reviews to research note synthesis and targeted revision strategies, all designed to help you transition smoothly from everyday tasks into focused scholarly writing.

During this hands-on webinar, you'll receive a comprehensive entry points flowchart that will serve as your go-to guide for choosing the most effective way to begin any writing session based on your current project phase, available time, and mental state. Additional resources including templates, checklists, and sample writing routines will be provided to support your ongoing writing practice. The session will be recorded for all participants, and registrants will receive the webinar link 48 hours prior to the event. Join us to discover how the right beginning can set the tone for productive, engaging, and sustainable scholarly writing sessions.
