Online Writing Groups - Winter 2025

Writing-Together Groups (register for any number, join any time)

The Winter 2025 "writing-together" groups will take place from January 21st - March 14th. The "writing-together" groups last two hours. At the beginning of the session, graduate students introduce themselves and say what writing project they are working on and what specific writing goal they would like to accomplish during the session. Participants then write quietly for the designated time period. At the end of the session, participants come back together and quickly report on what they did during the session. At the discretion of the facilitator, writing time may be further divided into 25-minute sessions (pomodoro technique) or another break structure.
