The forms of argument, analysis, invention, and communication that take place through writing are vital to scholarship and innovation in every field at the university. The Faculty Writing Initiative offers a suite of programs to support the writing process that drives faculty research and helps it assume a public voice. The Manuscript Review Award offers faculty members in-depth peer engagement with a scholarly manuscript so that it becomes a leading and field-changing book. Our Scholarly Publishing Symposium aims to demystify an industry undergoing rapid change. We also facilitate Peer Grant-Review Workshops, Public Writing Series, annual Writing Retreats, ongoing weekly Writing Support sessions, and a Summer Writing Boot Camp.
The Manuscript Review Award, offered to six scholars annually, helps faculty members publish thought-provoking, field-changing books. Awardees receive a formal manuscript review plus a workshop/seminar led by an external senior scholar.
