We use Wendy Laura Belcher's highly acclaimed book, Writing Your Journal Article in Twelve Weeks*, as a guide to revising a draft into a submittable journal article. Similar to the Dissertation Writing Groups, we will work in solidarity alongside other peers committed to meeting ambitious goals on a shared timeline, and participate in a facilitator-led group that shares ideas and resources in various areas of the journal and article-writing and submitting process. This program is also designed as a workshop, and participants will be asked to share specific drafts of their writing: abstracts, argument statements, literature reviews, etc.
Applications for Article Writing Groups go out every August, April, and December, and the application is quite competitive. Please contact Maggie McLaughlin at marmclau@iu.edu or wts@indiana.edu for questions or more information about the program.
*This textbook is required for group participation. Participants are responsible for obtaining a personal copy.
Applications for Spring 2023 Article Writing Workshops are now open.
This spring, WTS intends to offer at least 2 workshop groups for newcomers, as well as at least one alumni group, all of which will meet weekly, either on Zoom or in-person, depending on applicant preferences. Each meeting will last roughly 3 hours, with ~1 hour devoted to discussion and peer feedback, followed by ~2 hours of dedicated writing time.
If you are interested in applying to join one of our fall groups, please thoroughly and thoughtfully complete the questions on the linked forms for either newcomers or alumni. Email Maggie McLaughlin (marmclau@iu.edu) if you have any questions.
The application deadline for spring groups is Wednesday, January 4, 2023, 5:00 PM EDT.
