Workshop: The Writing Process Personalized: Finding a System That Works for You

The Writing Process Personalized:
Finding a System That Works for You

A Virtual Workshop With Dr. Vernetta Williams

Thursday, September 17, 2020
1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Too often, scholars do not become productive writers because they do not have a strategic approach to writing.

In this online writing workshop — with Dr. Vernetta Williams (writing coach, editor, and speaker from Chrysalis Consulting, LLC) — participants will be introduced to the stages of the writing process. More importantly, they will be challenged to develop a way to personalize the traditional writing process that suits them.

Pre-register by Monday, September 14, 2020 via GIMS (Graduate Information Management System) by clicking this link: GIMS.

This workshop will be presented virtually via Zoom. A link will be provided the day before the event to all registered students. Maximum attendance for the online session is 300. The workshop will be recorded and shared with all graduate students afterwards. Questions? Email the UF Division of Graduate Student Affairs at ogdi@aa.ufl.edu.
