Writing Groups

MTSU Write is pleased to offer writing groups for writers who want community and accountability. These writing groups are facilitated by one of our mentors, who acts as an organizer and co-participant, sharing their work alongside other members of the group.  

Fall Writing Group Availability:

• Poetry with Allison Blevins: Mondays, 10am CST (2 available seats)

The registration fee is $100 per semester, which aligns with our mentorship session schedule.

If you’d like to join one of the groups, email mtsuwrite@mtsu.edu. Please share your genre of choice, a short description of the project you’re working on, and a 1-2 page writing sample. Upon acceptance to the group, you will be given a link to pay the registration fee.
