Welcome to Wine and Write! A NEW virtual, evening writing group—perfect for those who do their best work after hours.
Whether you’re working on an op-ed, grant proposal, administrative report, journal article, book, dissertation, magazine piece, script, multimodal project, or something entirely different, Wine and Write is here for you!
Bring your favourite beverage—whether it’s wine, tea, coffee, or sparkling water—and join us to set goals, connect with colleagues, and boost your productivity in a relaxed, collaborative environment.
Drop in, stay as long as you need, and let’s get those ideas flowing!
For Fall/Winter 2024-2025, starting on November 14, this group will meet biweekly on Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. ET via Zoom!
We offer:
- Drop in any time and stay as long as you can, whether it’s 20 mins on a busy day or the full 3-hours
- Goal setting at the beginning of each session. You will have the opportunity to share as much or as little as you like about your writing goals for the week
- Quiet writing blocks (10 minute goal sharing; 50 minute writing block; 10 minute break; 50 minute writing block; 10 minute break; 40 minute writing block; 5-10 minutes sharing how our writing blocks went and chatting)
