Northwood Community Center Multipurpose Room
Akshaya, Houd, Usman

This is an informal writing group for anyone writing a dissertation or working on any writing-based project.

What to expect? (1) A Warm Meal to ground your focus; (2) A Comfortable Writing Space with optional music, quiet corners, and community; (3) Occasional Tips from the Sweetland Writing Center

A Proven Formula that works:

• 15 minutes: Hellos & settle in

• 60 minutes: Focused writing (timed!)

• After: Optional social time – connect, chat, or keep writing


Why join? Writing can be lonely. This space offers community, accountability, and momentum. No critiques. No pressure. Just shared silence, support, and food.


What to bring? (1) Laptop or notebook, (2) Headphones/earplugs (optional), (3) Your project—whatever you’re working on


Who can join? Open to writers of all genres, goals, and levels. Come write. Come connect. Come complete.


This event is for graduate students living in Michigan housing. We apologize for not including partners and kids, our funding is restricted. Please contact Laura Herbert (lmhmich@umich.edu) if you need additional accommodations.
