Graduate Writing Groups are month-long writing communities that provide support and accountability as students pursue their writing goals. Participants commit to the following:
- Attend a two-hour planning session to refine the month’s writing goals
- Meet with a graduate tutor once during the month to discuss writing and/or the writing process
- Participate in at least one Writing Efficiency Session each week
- Attend a weekly one-hour group meeting to discuss the previous week’s achievements and the subsequent week’s goals
If you would like to propose a writing group for a department or group of students, or if you have other questions, please send us an email, and we will be happy to work with you.
