Writing Studio — Summer 2026 Series

The Writing Studio is a one-month workshop, facilitated by Chris Jones, designed to help you complete a significant piece of writing, such as a major grant application, a dissertation prospectus, an article or a chapter. Each session will build off each other, helping to introduce healthy and sustainable writing habits to faculty and graduate students. Light refreshments and drinks will be served.

Most of our time at meetings will be spent writing, with short intervals to develop strategies for meeting deadlines and overcoming obstacles. Learn how to set yourself up for success, avoid negative self-talk, and practice habits that make it easier to keep writing on a regular basis. Unlike many other writing workshops, we will not be focusing on style or writing for popular audiences, nor will we exchange or discuss each other’s texts. Instead, our focus will be on setting aside dedicated time for writing and learning strategies that increase productivity and lower the stress and anxiety of writing. Participants will have the option of participating in accountability check-in meetings with peers outside of our scheduled meetings.

In-person attendance will be limited to the first 35 people to enroll. Because exercises will build over time, participants are expected to attend regularly, particularly if they register to attend in person. One registration covers access to all seven days of scheduled events:
