A Seven-step Process for Academic Writing - A NECTAR-supported ANU early career academic workshop with Dr Malini Devadas, MD Writing and Editing

“A Seven-step Process for Academic Writing”

A NECTAR-SUPPORTED ANU EARLY CAREER ACADEMIC WORKSHOP with Dr Malini Devadas, MD Writing and Editing

Do you struggle to write your journal articles or grant applications? In this free one-hour workshop targeted to early career academics across all disciplines at ANU, Malini will present the seven-step process she uses to help academics create publications that are clear, concise and compelling. This process has helped many of Malini’s clients increase their confidence and write more efficiently. During the workshop, attendees will be guided through a worksheet and provided with a checklist that they can use afterwards for future academic writing tasks.

Following the workshop (11am – 12pm), participants are invited to stay on for an informal lunch discussion (12 – 1pm) to chat with the presenter and network with other participants.

About the presenter: Dr Malini Devadas finished a PhD in neuroscience and a postdoc in medical research before realising that she loved the writing more than the lab work. So in 2004, Malini switched careers and started working as a science writer and editor. She has a Graduate Certificate in Editing and Publishing and is accredited with the Australian Institute of Professional Editors. Through her business, MD Writing and Editing, Malini provides editing, training and coaching services to academic staff and students.
