The road to publication can sometimes be rocky. Especially when writers lose their flow and eventually come to a standstill. A writer's block.

But what exactly is writer's block? What triggers it? How do I get back into writing? In this lecture, writing consultants Tonia Fondermann and Nina Lange will explore these questions and give you helpful tips on how to counteract writer's block and recognize writing inhibitors in advance so that you can take preventative action against them.

Tonia Fondermann has been working as a writing consultant in various writing centers in Germany for 10 years. She studied American Studies, Sociology and Political Science in Bochum and Berlin and completed additional training as a writing consultant at TU Darmstadt. She has been working with Nina Lange at the Fachhochschule Dortmund Writing Center for around three years.

Nina Lange completed her degree in literary studies at the Ruhr University Bochum in 2019 and also trained as a systemic writing consultant. After graduating, she worked in parallel as a lecturer at the Writing Center of her alma mater and as a research assistant at the Career Service of Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. In December 2021, she moved to Fachhochschule Dortmund. Since then, she has been working there as a writing consultant in the Writing Center of the Career Service.

The successful completion of a doctorate also includes the final, mandatory publication of the work produced. While online publications are common in some disciplines, in others it is important to find a (preferably renowned) publisher. The necessary publication of doctoral theses can therefore result in high printing costs for the prospective doctoral student. One common way to avoid having to bear these costs entirely on your own is to raise funds in the form of a printing cost subsidy. This event aims to provide an overview of the various application options.

Open Access means free access to scientific publications for interested parties from all target groups via the Internet. In this way, scientific information can be disseminated more quickly and without hindrance. Open Access thus creates more attention for research results.

The lecture provides an overview of the history, possibilities, advantages and disadvantages of open access publishing. In addition, different variants and financing models will be explained and the services of the Fachhochschule Dortmund library relating to Open Access will be presented.
