Join the Writers Workshop to kick off the New Year the "write" way! For folks planning to catch up on some writing over Winter Break, we'll be offering a mini-retreat during the week of January 12th on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00am-12:00pm, in the Main Library's Orange Room or by Zoom. Please note that you only need to register once to attend any or all of these dates.
This is a productivity writing group, whose main purpose is to provide structure and community for work that can sometimes feel structureless and isolating. It is ideal for graduate students seeking to create a writing routine, make progress and meet deadlines on long-term writing projects, or jump-start a new writing project. All meetings will consist of a short goal-setting conversation, quiet writing time, and a concluding reflection and wrap-up.
These groups do not offer feedback--if you are looking to learn more and improve your writing, check out our events or make an appointment to get individualized feedback. Find more information about our Writing Group FAQs, and learn more about our consultations and policies. The Writers Workshop will open for consultations on January 21.
