SPARKING ACADEMIC JOY
How to Develop a Joy-Filled Writing Practice
Sparking Academic Joy
How to Develop a Joy-Filled Writing Practice
Academic joy doesn’t have to be an oxymoron. If you’re seeking more joy in your writing practice, this workshop is designed for you. We’ll explore how different kinds of writing retreats can cultivate, nurture, and spark joy in your writing practice. The session is grounded in the book I co-authored with Dr. Rose Ernst, Sparking Academic Joy: Writing Retreats for Scholars.
Shift from writing as a chore to writing as a practice
Cultivate joy exponents to root and nurture your writing
Weed out barriers that inhibit your ability to write
Learn to sustain your writing practice through triage, proactive, or inspirational retreats
“Sparking Academic Joy was an inspirational workshop. Dr. Davis’s warmth and expertise are both grounding and motivating!”

A half-day seminar offers an efficient opportunity to realign writing practices with professional and scholarly goals.
