Abstract/Proposal Writing Workshop
Date and Time: Wednesday 26 August 2009 12:00-1:00 PM EDT
• If you’re eager to present a paper at an upcoming meeting but aren’t sure how to condense your ideas into a 250-500 word proposal. . .
• If you’re familiar with bibliographic abstracts but aren’t sure how to convert that style into a dynamic and compelling response to a call for presentations . . .
• If you want to use the abstract-writing process as a way to clarify your thoughts for future writing goals. . .
. . . this is a workshop for you.
In this 60-minute online meeting you will learn:
• The four different goals for writing an abstract.
• What you need—and don’t need—to include in a paper or presentation proposal.
• How to write an abstract/proposal for a paper you haven’t yet written.

Writing a good abstract or proposal is a skill you can learn.
The workshop will be a text-based presentation and discussion in a “Group Meeting” or IM format.
