Sign Up NOW: Fall 2026 Writing Accountability Groups
What is a 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. Each group consists of approximately 6 members who are each committed to participating in at least 8 of their group’s 11 weekly writing sessions. Groups will be facilitated by CEAH Director Matt Sivils.
WAG structure
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 progress and to set goals for the next one.
