If you're a faculty member, adjunct instructor, CLTA, research associate, or postdoc looking to set aside weekly writing time this summer, join one (or both) of our facilitated CDRS Faculty Writing Groups on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10:00am-12:00pm via Zoom. Writing groups are open to faculty members broadly at the University of Toronto looking to make significant progress on a particular writing project in a supportive environment. Projects can include: journal articles, edited volumes, chapters, book proposals, books, etc. at any stage! Each session will provide registrants with:
- A distraction-free, focused writing environment
- Supportive group sharing about current writing projects and goals
- Low-pressure opportunities for peer feedback and writing exchange for those interested
- Weekly accountability check-ins with members of the writing group
You are welcome to join one or both groups based on your availability and needs.
Dissertation-to-Book Working Group
Thursdays | 9:00 AM- 11:00 AM
Oct 2- Dec 11 2025

Working on turning your dissertation into a book? Join an 11-week working group with peers to finish up your book proposal, sample chapters, and work on your first manuscript in a supportive environment. We will have weekly check ins using The Dissertation-to-Book Workbook as a guide. Sessions will include sharing, goal setting, and dedicated writing time.
*If you are unable to attend either session but are interested in participating in the writing groups or would like support with creating your own writing group, please feel free to reach out to us at cdrs.admin@utoronto.ca so that we can discuss possibilities.
