Events & Writing Group Info

Each session, MTSU Write hosts events that nurture the writing community and celebrate literary life.  We also have facilitated writing groups, which meet on zoom. Check here for updates as events and writing groups will change from season to season.

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. Most groups are offered via zoom, so writers can join from anywhere in the country.

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 [email protected]. 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.

Each spring, we are pleased to offer a series of free master classes on Saturdays. Spring 2024 events have ended; Spring 2025 events will be posted later this year.
