Summer provides an amazing opportunity for academic writers, but if your writing time is unstructured, it is easy to miss this opportunity. Writing Together Online offers structured writing sessions to keep you on track for your writing goals during the summer months. Join our daily 90-minute writing sessions and become part of a community of scholars who connect online, set realistic goals, and write together in the spirit of accountability and camaraderie. The program is open to all MIT students, postdocs, faculty, staff, and affiliates who are working on papers, proposals, thesis/dissertation chapters, application materials, and other writing projects. Students and postdocs who attend at least 5 sessions during each challenge will be entered into a gift-card raffle. The more you participate, the more times you will be entered into the raffle of prizes.
