Want to improve your academic writing?

Here are 5 tweets full of excellent writing tips.

Because it’s about time I start sharing all the great tweets I bookmark. @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter
1. This tweet received MANY replies from incredible scholars. You will certainly find writing advice here that resonates with you. Thank you, Dr. Hart!

2. Seek feedback on your writing. The more you seek feedback, the less awkward it will feel to do so. Thank you, @ithinkwellHugh!
3. Discussion sections can be such a stumbling block. Sometimes you lose your momentum when it’s time to write this final section of your manuscript. Here’s a thread with great ideas specific to the discussion section. Thank you, @carlton_fong!
4. Struggling with “brain fog” when you sit down to write? You’re not alone, and there’s power in knowing that and feeling a sense of community. You’ll find great tips in the replies of this tweet for overcoming that brain fog. Thank you, @HER_storian!
5. Finally – if you’re really feeling stuck - read something outside of your field. LOVE THIS TIP. It’s actually my new obsession (just ask the doctoral students in my class. I’m a broken record about it) Thanks, @raulpacheco!

Was this thread about academic writing tips helpful? Retweet the first tweet to share the info with colleagues!
Realizing now that I thanked Dr. Hart but didn’t tag! So here’s the tag @saraannhart in case you were wondering about where this was posted. I had your tweet saved in my bookmarks for a while now and shared it yesterday in this thread. Thanks so much for all the writing tips!
I'm developing another thread with more incredible writing tips selected from OUTSIDE of academia. The tips are too good not to share! Follow me so you don't miss it. #WritingTips #AcademicChatter

Can conference presenters use Twitter for audience participation and engagement?

Here's how I tried involving Twitter during a presentation yesterday & how it went:
(spoiler - I loved it!)

@AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter @OpenAcademics @PhD_Genie
I designed intentional "Twitter Time Breaks" throughout my presentation for audience members to engage, respond to questions, share ideas, interact with each other on Twitter, etc. I told the audience about this right at the start of the presentation.
Rather than designing a unique hashtag to facilitate this, I decided to keep all interaction within one tweet posted on my Twitter account. Audience members could "reply" throughout the presentation to this tweet rather than having to post their own tweets from their profile.
