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.

For writers who’ve already completed first drafts and are about to embark on the process of revising their work, this workshop explores techniques for working with reader feedback, looking at a piece with fresh eyes, and reimagining and rearranging older work.

Designed for writers at the very earliest stages of the writing process. Participants will leave this workshop having started planted the seeds for a larger and longer creative project. We’ll cultivate a space for writers to play around with language and form, while they imagine possible directions in which their writing might go.

Fellows will offer their experienced strategies and models for attentive reading and peer feedback, specifically focusing on feedback in the context of a writing workshop.

This workshop is designed for writers figuring out how to manage a life more conducive to writing, giving them the time, space and tools to find ways of nourishing and structuring their writing practice. Together, we’ll engage with any challenges we foresee in building a writing practice, and reflect on the kinds of writing rhythms we want to invite into our lives.
