Events Calendar

This program offers companionship and accountability to University of Iowa artists, scholars, and researchers working on any kind of academic writing project (ex. academic articles/essays, fellowship or grant applications, book projects, edited volumes, or nonfiction) who want dedicated time, a cozy space, and a community for the practice of writing.

In Summer 2024, these small, write-on-site groups will continue to meet in at the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies at 111 Church St. Groups will meet once a week for one and a half hours, beginning the week of June 3, 2024. Weekly writing sessions will include brief check-ins, goal setting, and sustained writing time—along with warm appreciation and support for the demanding work of scholarly writing. All groups during the summer are open to anyone in the University of Iowa academic community. The writing space is deliberately small and cozy, so we have spaces for only 10 writers per group.

Applications for summer groups are due May 21, 2024.

Available groups & meeting times:

• Mondays, 9:30–11 a.m.

• Mondays, 2–3:30 p.m.

• Wednesdays, 9:30–11 a.m.

• Wednesdays, 2–3:30 p.m.

  
  Groups begin meeting the week of June 3, 2024.
