What’s the challenge?

This challenge is open to academics at all stages, looking to experiment with daily writing and find joy in the process.

• Commit to writing for at least 30 minutes a day for two weeks
• Login to our online community, start the timer, complete your writing, and post your progress at the end
• Take 5 minutes to support other writers in your group by commenting on their progress

“Writing” refers to any scholarly activity ranging from the spark of a new idea to polishing a near-complete project (article, grant proposal, exhibit, book chapter, etc.).

The average participant writes for 350 minutes over the two weeks and 98% of recent participants agreed that “the 14-Day Writing Challenge was helpful in making progress on your scholarly work.”
