Research suggests that academic writing is a formidable task for many postgraduate students. Hence, this study aims to investigate the extent to which postgraduate students are hampered by writer’s block and the factors that lead to this problem. Data were collected through the writer’s block scale that was applied to 43 postgraduate students and through interviews with five of these participants. Findings revealed the reasons behind postgraduate students’ experiences of writer’s block and the remedial strategies they employed to cope with this problem.
