Summer provides an amazing opportunity for academic writers, but without structure, those long open days slip past. Writing Together Online helps you turn summer into a productive writing season. Join a vibrant community of MIT scholars for daily 90-minute writing sessions where you set realistic goals, write alongside others, and stay accountable in a supportive virtual space. 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.
Summer 2026 sessions will be grouped in two challenges:
Challenge 1: Monday, June 1st, through Friday, June 26th
Holiday Break: June 27th through July 5th
Challenge 2: Monday, July 6th through Friday, July 31st
Session Times:
Mondays 9:00–10:30am
Tuesdays 9:00-10:00am
Wednesdays 9:00–10:30am and 10:30-12pm
Thursdays 9:00-10:30am
