Writing Accountability Groups for Fall 2024 Semester

The CEAH is re-introducing our Fall 2024 Writing Accountability Groups! 

  • Needing time and space to write that article or book manuscript?  
  • Looking for a quiet place to work on that grant proposal?  
  • Wanting to network with colleagues while also furthering your scholarship?  

Join a CEAH Writing Accountability Group! 

 

These in-person writing groups are open to ISU faculty who are working on writing-intensive projects related to the arts, design, and humanities.  

  

Writing groups consist of approximately 6 members who are each committed to participating in at least 8 of their group’s 11 weekly writing sessions. Each group will be facilitated by CEAH Director, Matthew Sivils.  

  

Groups meet once a week for a two-hour session held at the CEAH Space in ISU’s Parks Library (084). Each session begins with a 15-minute check-in during which members share their writing goals for that session. Then each member selects one of the CEAH’s secluded writing areas and writes in silence for an hour and a half. (Our quiet, low-distraction room offers a range of writing areas, including office desks, a conference table, and even a few standing desks). After an hour and a half of solo writing, members briefly regroup to share their session’s progress and to set goals for the next one. It’s that simple! 

  

Given the popularity of last semester’s WAGs, we’re adding an additional group. So, this fall we will sponsor a total of three CEAH Writing Accountability Groups.   

  

These groups will meet at the following times.  

  • Group 1 will meet on Tuesdays 8:00am–10:00am, September 10 to November 19.  
  • Group 2 will meet on Tuesdays 1:00pm–3:00pm, September 10 to November 19.  
  • Group 3 will meet on Wednesdays 8:00am–10:00am, September 11 to November 20.  

  
Location: ISU Parks Library (Room 084)   
Coffee and tea will be available.
