This workshop series is premised on a simple idea: many writing challenges at the graduate level are the result of underdeveloped writing-process skills. To address this competency gap, each workshop in this series will focus on one distinct stage of the writing process—pre-writing, drafting, revising, and editing—and share strategies you can use to build knowledge and capacities around your current writing context.

Workshop 2: Drafting. Drafting is the writing stage in which you begin organizing the wild and sparky thoughts from your pre-writing activity into structured, logical formations. Key to an effective drafting stage is embracing roughness and imperfection, while also appreciating how drafts enable you to stress-test your own thinking.
