In business since 2000.
Professors working with professors on their scholarly (and sometimes
creative) writing. |

Check
out this great article, one of a series, on academic writing (thanks to Mary
Kennedy in English for the tip): http://www.insidehighered.com/advice/hoelscher/hoelscher1
The
Journal of Scholarly Publishing is also helpful and often even interesting, with such titles as ÒSurviving Referees ReportsÓ
and ÒOn Falling Behind Schedule.Ó
You can access the journal through the campus library (start with this
link); the database Academic Search Complete carries it.
SUNY
Cortland Writer:
If you work at SUNY Cortland and write, you are welcome to participate in our
upcoming meetings of the Faculty Writing Group.
The FWG is open to SUNY CortlandÕs working professionals: teachers,
researchers, adjuncts, emeritus, administrators, and staff at any level.
The
FWG members do not read or critique works; instead, we collaboratively engage
such writing problems as where to send a manuscript for publication, how to
organize a complex chapter, how to establish a realistic writing schedule, how
to best find the beginning for a new project or abandon an old one, and the
like.
Participants
have about five minutes to articulate their writing challenge; they then listen
for advice and suggestions (if desired) from the assembled writers. The final step is to identify a specific
writing goal for the upcoming month.
This goal may be as small as Òopen the files of old drafts and organize
themÓ or Òsend out manuscript to publisher x.Ó
Generally
the focus is on grants, research and scholarship, but we have discussed memoir,
travel writing, and poetry. Our purpose is to provide writers a way
to reflect on, plan and sustain our writing.
The Faculty Writing Group donÕt mess around. |
