**APPLICATION IS CLOSED | Deadline**: Wednesday, 11/6 at 3:00pm (we expect to offer this workshop again in early 2020)

**Goal Setting Due**: Tuesday, 11/12  
  
**Facilitator:** Kathy Brenner, Writing Consultant, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health  
  
**Description:** Writing a manuscript for journal publication is a daunting task. Because language matters, using correct grammar, appropriate vocabulary, and complex sentence structures can be mystifying. Many postdoctoral fellows recognize that this kind of writing can also be an isolating activity and that finding motivation can sometimes be difficult. To counteract these hurdles, the HMS Office of Postdoctoral Fellows is offering a writing boot camp to help you make progress on your research manuscript while sharing the space with the support of your peers and a professional writing consultant. Moving around the room, answering questions, and discussing your writing, the writing consultant will assist you with writing conventions, strategies, and techniques that will support the linguistic and structural underpinnings of the manuscript content. This bootcamp is limited to 40 participants, application submission is required.  
  
*Light breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be provided.*  
  
The boot camp provides a quiet space with minimal distractions, a writing regimen/routine, peer motivation, and access to a facilitator with writing expertise. The goal is to help you become better writers. Instead of simply producing better papers, the aim is to begin the process of critically evaluating and refining your own writing. Bring your laptop or tablet, and all the materials you need to achieve your writing goals, and we will provide the food, the space, and some peace and quiet to write efficiently. Participants should plan to arrive on time and stay for the entire session. Cell phones must be turned off and Internet usage must be restricted to research. While peer-to-peer review is encouraged, social conversation will be confined to the dedicated break and lunch areas. **Schedule** 9am - 4pm (details subject to change)
