May Writing Together "Get It Done!" Week-long Challenge
Crank out your end-of-semester projects with us during our annual May week-long writing intensive! We will be offering daily morning and afternoon sessions from May 10th-14th. As always, our sessions seek to create a community of writers who connect, set realistic goals, and write together to motivate each other and make progress on their academic projects.
This year's program will offer participants the opportunity to sign up for drop-in 30-minute individual writing consultations. Informal and communal 30-minute coffee chats about writing tips and practices will bridge the morning and afternoon sessions.
Unique Prize! Participants who attend more than 5 sessions during the week will receive a copy of Helen Sword's most recent book: Air & Light & Time & Space: How Successful Academics Write to help inspire and continue to fuel their writing.
This program is open to graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty, or staff, who are actively writing their proposals, chapters, papers, manuscripts, or books.
