If you want to avoid dry, dull writing and develop your own unique voice to succeed in your assignments, join Write!

Author and professor Bjørn Arild Ersland is coming to the University Library in Stavanger for a sofa conversation about creative writing in academic texts. With over 40 books to his name and a professorship in creative writing at UiS, he has extensive experience in the field. He recently contributed to the book Skriv dristig og kreativt!: veiledning i skrivelyst and will share valuable advice on how creativity can help you improve your writing.
We will discuss how you can:
- Keep your writing flowing and avoid writer’s block
- Create engaging and reader-friendly academic texts
- Use creativity to develop your own writing voice
Program
The event includes a conversation with the opportunity for questions, followed by a practical writing session where you can receive guidance in academic writing:
14:15-15:00 – Sofa conversation on creative writing in academic texts
15:00-15:10 – Break
15:10-16:00 – Work on your own text and receive guidance (plus a snack)
Open to students, faculty, and PhD candidates. We will provide food and drinks – sign up here so we know how many to order for.
