What is #AcWriMo 2026
AcWriMo is a month-long sprint academic writers do, to write more. It's held every November.
The Program
The Zoom Writing Room opens every Monday morning in November at 5amPT/8amET/1pmGMT.
It will stay open for 90 minutes. Come for some, most, any or all - of any of the sessions.
The AcLife ACWRIMO program for November 2026 includes:
1) An academic writing coach [me! hello!] in the breakout room.
2) A short weekly craft/skills talk.
3) Personalized check-ins with an academic writing coach [still me! hello again!].
Every Monday you will email me your goals, concerns, or hopes for the week. Every Friday you'll email me about how your week really went. No judgement, no shame - just an inventory of how you did, and what little treat you are giving yourself.
But wait, there's more. Every Monday in November the Academic Life blog will cover one piece of the hidden curriculum.

AcWriMo 2026
It's a month-long commitment to your writing project.
You'll be in the company of other writers who are making the same commitment.
November has 5 Mondays - that's 5 dates with your writing. Keep as many of them as you can.
Your academic writing coach [me! hello!] will be right there with you for the whole month-long adventure.
Costs, Etc
The suggested fee for this month-long program is $100.
However. No one will be turned away over inability to pay. Times are tough; and contingent faculty and grad students have it even tougher.
I'd rather have you attend than have you stress about how to afford the AcLife ACWRIMO!
