Journal Article Writing Group for Graduate Students: Spring 2026

Posted in: Center for Writing Excellence

Are you a graduate student preparing a journal article for publication? Do you want to be part of a community of writers? Learn more about the Graduate Student Journal Article Writing Group!

The writing group will run during the Spring 2026 semester (January 26 – April 24), with weekly topics including: Advancing your Argument, Works Cited/Literature Reviews, Journal Selection, Analyzing/Presenting Evidence and more.
A working draft of an article is required for participation. Participants will be asked to submit this draft when they register.

The program is mostly run asynchronously through Canvas, though participants are required to attend one weekly synchronous Zoom writing session, with multiple sessions being offered each week. We will be using Wendy Laura Belcher’s book Writing Your Journal Article in Twelve Weeks to help facilitate discussions and writing.

If you are interested in joining, consider attending one of the upcoming Zoom information sessions where we will discuss how the program will run, the expected time commitment, and answer any other questions you may have about the club.

The dates for Zoom information sessions are:

To join the group, complete the registration form. You do not need to attend an information session to join the club, but it is recommended. If you have questions, please contact the Center for Writing Excellence at cwe@montclair.edu.
