Online Writing Groups - Spring 2024

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

The Spring 2024 "writing-together" groups will take place from April 8th - May 31st. 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.

Sign up for "writing-together" groups below by registering at the Handshake link. When you register, you will be emailed Zoom and other information for the writing group:

Mindful Writing Retreats (online)

The mindful writing retreat will integrate simple techniques from mindfulness to support the writing process and cultivate an approach to writing that fosters balance, self-care, and well-being.
