Series Introduction:

This is a workshop series for all writers who want to boost their mastery of the composition process from the sentence to the wider organization of any piece of writing. By considering how even scientific writing is a story, participants will become more adept at communicating their specific writing purpose. Moreover, participants will reflect on and analyze examples of effective writing, a skill that depends, in turn, on close reading ability. They are invited to bring drafts of a writing project currently in progress to apply what they learn in the series.  

Modules in the Series:

Module 1: Writing as Process and Story

Module 2: Close Reading for Better Writing, Part I

Module 3: Close Reading for Better Writing, Part II

Module 4: Balancing Data with Purpose and Voice

Module 5: Enhancing the Integration of Sources

Module 6: Clean, Crisp, & Clear: Tidying up Your Writing

Registration will include access to the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) site for the series, which will provide access to links of carefully curated resources & pre-workshop assignment prompts.

If you do plan to register for this series, please respond by the end of Monday, August 12.

You will be asked to submit some of your own writing for the workshop assignments. More information will be provided upon registration.
