CPCD-WR-09 - Annual Moorhead Writing Academy
Course Description
What is the Moorhead Writing Academy?
The Moorhead Writing Academy (formerly known as the Winter Writing Retreat) will take place in January and provide a space to work in the company of others. Many attendees find that this creates a sense of accountability and community. The Graduate School provides coffee, tea, and snacks to fuel productivity. Lunch is also offered daily. In addition to dedicated space and time to work, we have optional workshops scheduled to support your writing. Faculty members will also be available for consultation during the academy so you can get feedback on your work. This annual event was renamed to celebrate its tenth anniversary and to honor Dr. Cari Moorhead, Dean Emerita of UNH Graduate School.
Registration Instructions
You can register for as many individual days as you like. There are tiered awards based on how many days you attend, so be sure to check the details! You are expected to attend every day that you register for. Lunch and other perks will only be available for attendees.
Please note that this year is an in-person only event; we will not offer an online option.
Our optional writing-support workshops are offered on a drop-in, daily basis. No additional registration is required to attend. We hope you can join us! This year's workshops will focus on conducting productive peer reviews, writing for an audience, writing with brevity, and goal-setting. A full schedule will be emailed to registrants beforehand.
Lunch Rewards
This year, we will be awarding additional free lunches at Holloway Commons the week after the retreat (January 20th-23rd ) for participants that attended four or more days. The number of days you register for and attend the retreat is the number of free lunches you can have the following week. If you attend the retreat for 4 days, you get 4 free lunches the following week, and so on.
We are also introducing a new department meal raffle! Invite your department friends to the Moorhead Writing Academy and get entered for a chance to win an extra meal! To be eligible, at least 4 people from your department must attend the Moorhead Writing Academy. Each department that has at least 4 attendees will be entered into the raffle and announced on Friday at the award ceremony.
Disclaimer: The meal rewards are only for graduate students who attend. This reward does not apply to faculty or undergrads.

Lunch will be provided every day at the retreat. These are additional lunches to reward you for participating!
