Faculty Writing Groups

Purpose

• Provide support for busy faculty members who want to be productive scholars

Benefits

• Share your writing goals with colleagues
• Hold each other accountable toward meeting goals
• Meet new colleagues from across the campus
• Opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration

Faculty Writings Groups can help you meet your writing goals

• Dedicate and schedule time for your writing
• Receive feedback on your writing from readers
• Begin or complete a current writing project
• Revise and resubmit a writing project

Faculty Writing Groups typically utilize one or more of these approaches

• Individuals write daily for 15-30 mins. (5 days/week), then meet weekly with your FWG to share a few pages you’ve written
• Meet regularly at a designated time and space with your FWG colleagues to write
• Meet regularly with your FWG colleagues to circulate manuscripts and share feedback on those manuscripts
