Have you ever thought about writing an article, but
… have never got round to doing it?
…are not sure where to publish it?
…are struggling to find time?
…would like some friendly feedback?

… then the Library and  Information Research Group has two workshops, facilitated by successful academic authors and editors of library journals to help you.  These are being offered in various locations and will include an introductory session aimed at new writers and a follow up for those interested in drafting a paper and receiving feedback.

Introductory workshop
This half-day workshop will provide an introduction to writing and give you chance to think about your ideas for publications.  It will also offer ideas and tips in:

•	Getting started
•	How to keep going
•	Where to publish and the publishing process
•	What peer reviewers look for and how to deal with their comments

Follow up workshop
The second half day workshop offers participants an opportunity to:

•	Discuss/Review draft papers
