Are you a WashU grad student with a writing project? Do you write best working alongside your peers? Come join us at the Grad Writing Commons!

This peer-led writing group is open to participants from any school or department who want to concentrate on a writing project. All kinds of projects are welcome: novel manuscripts, articles, dissertation chapters, etc. This space is meant to build the structure and the community needed to come back to your own writing projects again and again.

The Graduate Writing Commons is facilitated by Stephanie Nebenfuehr and Rebecca Weingart, founders of the literary journal TERN and co-conveners of WashU’s literary writers group in 2024.

• Stephanie Nebenfuehr is a fiction writer and PhD student in the International Writers Track in the Department of Comparative Literature and Thought.
• Rebecca Weingart is a translator and PhD student in the International Writers Track in the Department of Comparative Literature & Thought.

To help overcome anxieties when it comes to diving into a writing project, each writing session begins with a brief creative writing exercise.

Coffee, tea and snacks always provided! Registration not required.

Any updates or future dates will be available on The Graduate Center's monthly calendar.

The Graduate Writing Commons is a collaboration among the Center for the Humanities, The Writing Center and the Graduate Center.
