I am writing to invite any interested faculty to the first ever CSW Faculty Writing Retreat. I have heard about these retreats held on other campuses and those who attended said
they were incredibly helpful. One junior faculty member said she finished a draft of a chapter in her retreat and another told me she finished an article. The way the retreat works is as follows. Participants complete all the research for a piece of writing
— generally for a chapter in a book or an article— prior to the retreat. At the retreat, which will begin Friday, September 14th and end September 16th, participants write in a quiet room from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, with breaks for lunch, coffee, and snacks.
CSW will provide the food and a snack/chatting/dining room adjacent to the quiet writing room. Friday night and Saturday night you leave at 5:30 and return the following morning. The retreat will end on Sunday, September 16th at 5:30 pm.
