Faculty Writing Groups

We support faculty working on any kind of writing project--articles, book manuscripts, or dissertations--by organizing Faculty Writing Groups. These groups typically meet twice a month to share drafts of their writing with each other for feedback. It is up to the group to decide how often they'll meet, on what days/times, and for how long (typically, a group offers feedback on two articles/chapters per meeting). The Center arranges meeting rooms for the group and can provide suggestions for getting your group organized and on the right track. If you'd like to join a Faculty Writing Group, please contact Ellen Schendel, Director of the Meijer Center for Writing and Assistant Professor of Writing, at 331-2774 or schendee@gvsu.edu

The Center is currently developing additional programming to support faculty and staff in their writing projects. If there is a particular kind of support you would like made available to you, please send your suggestions to Ellen Schendel.
