Writing Together Online offers the structured writing time to help you stay focused and productive during the busy fall months. We offer writing sessions every workday, Monday through Friday. Join our daily 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.
