Do you want dedicated group writing time or need important feedback on works in progress? Join a SHGAPE-sponsored Writing Workshop Group! This program is ideal for all stages, whether you are a graduate student working on your proposal or dissertation, to senior scholars working on their second or third book!

Your group will include between 4 and 6 fellow members, grouped by the SHGAPE Events Committee. Groups will include scholars of similar stage and research area to enable open and helpful conversation. Once your groups are assigned, group members will have the discretion to set the times and dates of their workshop meetings over the course of the 2021-2022 academic year. Group members can workshop short works-in-progress such as book chapters or articles (no full-length manuscripts please) and receive either written or verbal (or both) feedback from their fellow group members during their session. The Events Committee will ensure there’s a balance in each group and that you are paired with scholars who match your academic stage/area as much as possible.

If you are interested in joining a Writing Workshop group, please fill out the Google Form by Friday 9/10, and indicate your name, affiliation, email, SHGAPE Membership status (already a member or needing to join), research interests/dissertation area, and briefly describe the potential piece to be workshopped. If you are not already a SHGAPE member, you will need to join by Friday 9/24 using the link https://www.cambridge.org/core/membership/shgape.

Groups will be sent emails with everyone’s contact information by Friday 10/8. After that, it is up to the group to decide the structure of the group and schedule meetings. A sample schedule for a group with six members would be monthly meetings between November and April. We suggest pre-circulating your paper amongst group members at least two weeks in advance. Groups may also choose to have more frequent optional weekly or biweekly writing meetings – meeting online for designated times to work on their pieces together. We encourage groups to think about future potential conference panels or even co-written publications such as blog posts for the SHGAPE blog!
