This workshop is open to faculty and PhD students. There are no joining or registration fees for the workshop. however, accommodation and travel expenses will be funded by the participant's own budget - the participants will have to make their own accommodation and travel arrangements.

This paper development workshop is an opportunity for you to complete the writing of one major piece of work (e.g. a conference or journal paper) at least good first draft stage. The overall objective is for you to publish this work in the highest-ranking outlet possible. As well as attending plenary sessions on writing and publishing, this workshop will enable you to:

• improve your writing practice and style
• share your work with others and receive their feedback
• receive expert personal feedback and guidance on your writing
• develop a positive group-based attitude to writing

The workshop will have a few plenary sessions on writing and publishing along with some question-and-answer sessions. There will also be a few sessions where reviewers will discuss their reviews with the author(s), chaired by an experienced author/editor.
