Graduate Writing Group Interest Form (Fall 2020)
***Note that the initial deadline for being considered for a graduate writing group this fall has passed (Monday, September 14, at noon CST), but if you would like to be considered for additional openings or for our waitlist, you can fill out this form.***

The Writing Center is offering several options for weekly graduate writing groups this fall, including (a) four registered groups that require weekly attendance, and (b) a drop-in writing group for anyone who expresses interest below. Led by experienced instructors, these groups provide an opportunity for sustained writing practice within a community of other graduate student writers. Every group will have a video component with options for other synchronous (audio, text) engagement.

Please let us know any additional information that would aid in assigning you to a writing group (e.g., groups that you cannot attend, groups that you can attend in addition to your choices above, other extenuating circumstances).
Why would you like to join a writing group? *
What kind of project will you be working on (e.g., dissertation, article, proposal, seminar paper, other)? *
Have you participated in one or more of our graduate writing groups in the past? If so, how many semesters/summers? *
Have you participated in a VIRTUAL graduate writing group OR Dissertation Writing Camp in the past? *
Since accountability and community are the basis for successful writing groups, and since we have limited spots available, we have to give priority to graduate students who can fully commit to attending our registered groups. Can you commit to attending **every week for the full three hours**? *
If you cannot attend your registered group every week, will you let your group facilitator know **in writing** the date(s) that you will be unavailable? *
Is there anything else that you would like us to know about your experience in writing groups or in relation to your responses above?
