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 1: Pre-writing. Pre-writing includes any kind of externalization process that captures and/or generates thinking outside your head. Key to a fluid pre-writing stage is non-judgment: your aim is to practice accessing a state of thinking that is free-flowing, associative, and creative.
