Right now it seems like everything is on hold, but in many ways we have more accessibility than ever before. Learn how to create writing community, find and assess writing opportunities, and foster a sense of stability and belonging during this uncertain time. We’ll cover several subjects in two hours, with an exhaustive resource list provided to students at the end.
