Writing Group

This Fall we are offering a writing accountability group. This will be a space for collective writing, and for personal working time. We will be offering this space for 2 hours a week on zoom. Our first half an hour will be for check-ins, to share what we are working on, and to discuss any questions or topics we might want the whole group to chime in. Then, we will work for 1:20 minutes, and we will reconvene the last 10 minutes to check progress and set goals for next week.

We will be available throughout the time to answer questions through the chat.

Alongside that, each month we will have a full day writing retreat, on the weekends.

As with everything, you are welcome to come and go and participate when you are available.

There are 2 session options: we will meet on Tuesdays between 10:30 and 12:30 Eastern Time or Fridays between 12:00 and 2:00pm Eastern.

Dates (15 sessions in total):

Tuesdays: 9/2, 9/9, 9/16, 9/23, 9/30, 10/7, 10/14, 10/21, 10/28, 11/4, 11/11, 11/18, (thanksgiving break), 12/2, 12/9, 12/16

Fridays: 9/5, 9/12, 9/25, 10/3, 10/10, 10/17, 10/24, 10/31, 11/7, 11/14, 11/21, (thanksgiving break), 12/5, 12/12, 12/19

We will offer this on a sliding scale, taking into consideration our goals for financial equity and to allow everyone to participate. If you have institutional support (if you don’t know how to get the funds from your institution emails us, we can help!) or are more comfortable financially, we suggest you pay the highest end of the scale.

*The groups will need a minimum of 5 people to happen and will be capped at 10 each.

Tier 1: $0 to “pay as you can” – No institutional support, writers from marginalized backgrounds.

Tier 2: $50 a month – (200 full session) Discounted Rate

Tier 3: $80 a month – (320 full session) Full Rate

Tier 4: $100 a month – (400 full session) Institutional Support

Tier 5: $150 a month – (600 full session) Sustaining Rate

This gets you one writing group session a week until the end of the year, plus 4 day-long writing retreats (once a month).

If you want to see what the group is about before committing, you can attend a session for 5 dollars (that will be prorated from the full rate) from the second session onwards.

The groups will be facilitated by Natalia Vargas Márquez, PhD. Natalia, is a researcher, writer, educator and editor, with a passion for equity in academia and the literary world, with a vast experience supporting collective spaces for writing and learning.
