Creating a Sustainable Writing Practice

The Creating a Sustainable Writing Practice (CSWP) cohort program will take your writing skills and habits to the next level. Participants will enjoy the camaraderie of fellow writers and regular writing sessions, as well as a kick-off boot camp, two in-person writing sessions, and bi-weekly virtual writing sessions. At the Planning for Productivity Breakfasts at the beginning and end of the semester, the cohort will learn about and try out various planning tools and productivity strategies. At the Writing and Accountability Sessions every two weeks, the cohort will meet online to set goals and share progress, challenges, and successes. The rest of the time will be dedicated to individual writing projects, and we’ll hold each other accountable by writing together.

This program is facilitated by Dr. Lindsey Harding, Director of the UGA Writing Intensive Program, and Dr. Sara Steger, Assistant Director of First-Year Writing.
