A 5-day intensive writing retreat for researchers to turn their ideas into words and their words into publications

Nestled within Oxford’s historic center, the Accepted Writer’s Retreat combines structured daily workshops, dedicated writing time in one of Oxford’s magnificent libraries, and the community of fellow scholars. Whether you are just getting a new project up off the ground or are preparing the revisions to your manuscript, this immersive program is intended not only to grant you the mental and physical space to prioritise your work but will leave you with clarity on your research, lasting memories, and a tight-knit community of scholars which you can continue to grow alongside within Accepted Society.

The Annual Accepted Symposium is a celebration of diverse, non-traditional, and first generation voices and research within and beyond traditional academic silos. Founded on the principle that the best ideas come from unique perspectives, we bring together scholars from all stages of their careers (community college, university, graduate school, independent research, and professors) looking to share their ideas, experiences and work in a welcoming environment which champions multi-disciplinary connection over the divisions which often separate us.
