Online Writing Groups - Summer 2026

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

The Summer 2026 “writing-together” groups will run from July 13 – August 21. Each session is two hours long and provides structured, focused writing time in a supportive online environment.

At the beginning of each session, participants briefly introduce themselves and their current writing project and set a specific writing goal for that session. Participants then write independently for a designated time period followed by a short check-in at the end to reflect on progress. At the facilitator’s discretion, writing time may be divided into shorter, 25-minute intervals (e.g., Pomodoro-style sessions) or other structured formats.

When you register, you will receive Zoom details and additional information for your selected session(s).

Mindful Writing Retreat Sessions (Online)

Marilyn Gray, Director, Graduate Writing Center

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. Please bring a current writing project because much of the retreat time will be allocated for writing. All sessions will be conducted remotely via Zoom.
