Writer-to-Writer is a Creative Writing Fellow initiative/resource aimed to provide peer-to-peer support for single, longer-form creative writing projects. As creative writers, and trained Barnard Writing Fellows, we can act as attentive (and consistent!) readers of your work as you embark on any part of the writing process. Students can meet with a fellow weekly or biweekly to receive consistent feedback and support on their projects. Fill out the form here.

Open Hours provides students a space to nurture their writing process and continue their drafting— or, just leisurely write and imaginatively “play”. Students can come with an established draft they are nurturing or a blank page waiting to be filled, and share community and ideas with other writers and fellows. With a fellow on-staff, students have the opportunity to ask questions and receive feedback.

These drop-in hours are tailored to students and creative writing students seeking support on writing samples for class, graduate programs, or department applications. Flexible and open, drop-in hours allows students to meet one-on-one with a Creative Writing Fellow to receive specific feedback and attentive support on any of their writing.

This academic year, the Creative Writing Fellow program will be conducting a total of four general workshops, offering two per semester— one generative, and one revision-based. We similarly work with English, First Year, and Creative Writing classes to create tailored workshops for classes that engage students with a variety of writing prompts, revision tools, drafting ideas, and more.

Creative Writing Fellows can meet with creative writing students to discuss all stages of their writing process for assignments in your class— brainstorming, revising, editing, receiving feedback, and more. Recognizing the unique needs of creative writers, our Fellows support students in not only developing their creative work, but also nurturing their creative process. Rather than working with writers on a single draft, we hope to act as readers for writers between drafts, and across drafts.
