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 camaraderie with and accountability from fellow writers during regular 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, participants will work on their own writing projects, and we’ll hold each other accountable by writing together during these body doubling sessions.

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.
