About the Instructor/Moderator

"The Big Project" accountability Work Group is meant for writers who want to make headway on their poetry manuscript. Whether you are working towards a first draft of a chapbook or full-length collection, or are beginning the process of revising your manuscript, this 16-week group can provide support, resources, and writerly camaraderie.

This is an accountability group, which means there is no workshop component. Instead, you'll use your Work Group blog to check in with each other every week about your progress and challenges. Every two weeks, 24PearlStreet will provide a resource related to the manuscript writing and revising process. You'll aim to get to know each other as writers while making significant strides toward completing your "big project."

As with all Writers' Work Groups, this group requires writers who want to actively engage with their writing and with each other. By enrolling in this group, you commit to being an active participant for the length of the term.

**One important note about accountability groups: As a member of an accountability group, you are welcome to share your work for accountability purposes, but you won't receive critique-style feedback on it. If you're looking for a critique group, please see the full list of upcoming Work Groups.
