Every November, the Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA) joins with academic authors around the world to recognize and promote the month-long academic write-a-thon event, Academic Writing Month (AcWriMo). Started in 2011, this event encourages academic authors to focus on daily writing habits that move their projects closer to completion.

For the past three years, TAA has expanded their bi-weekly discussions to host weekly TweetChat events at the Twitter hashtag, #AcWriChat during the month of November.

To provide added support and practical strategies for completing your writing projects during AcWriMo, we are hosting the TAA webinar, “Seven Time Management Strategies to Begin, Keep Working On, and Complete Your Projects” on Thursday, November 5th from 1-2pm ET.

Most of us have had the experience of finishing a project at the last minute or late, and not being proud of what we have accomplished. Maybe we just couldn’t seem to find the time to devote to the project or we were frequently interrupted. Procrastination is a term applied to putting things off until later, but what can we do about it?

In this webinar presented by Mary Beth Averill, we explore 7 proven strategies for getting started, keeping at it, and finishing our projects. Learn more and register now.
