The Howe Writing Center is excited to announce two additional sets of writing hours for specific groups of individuals on Miami’s campus. For creative writers, HWC consultants are hosting a Creative Writing Cafe with open writing hours. Additionally, junior faculty members can participate in the spring Writing in Community Challenge.

Creative Writing Cafe at 18 Peabody

The Creative Writers Cafe provides creative writers with a dedicated, informal space to hone their craft and build community. At the cafe, they can meet other writers, enjoy snacks and beverages, and get feedback on their writing from HWC consultants. The Creative Writing Cafe will have its grand opening event on Friday, March 10th, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. where writers can visit the space, write a haiku, and enjoy free pizza.

The Creative Writing Cafe will be open on the following dates:

• March 10th
• March 31st
• April 7th
• April 14th
• April 21st
• April 28th

Writing in Community Challenge for Junior Faculty

Junior faculty writing hours are also back for the spring semester. We are challenging assistant professors and assistant TCPLs to commit to their writing at six writing hours sessions in March and April. These sessions will take place both in-person at the Howe Center for Writing Excellence and online via Zoom, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Donuts and coffee will be provided to in-person attendees.

The sessions, excluding spring break, include the following dates:

• March 10th
• March 17th
• March 31st
• April 7th
• April 14th
• April 21st

Take advantage of the space, time, and accountability we provide to make some great progress on your writing goals. If you attend four of the six sessions, you will earn a spring-themed prize.

RSVP required, so claim your spot today!

The HCWE values the community-building component of writing, and we are always excited to bring together writers from all disciplines and departments to work toward their goals. We hope you will consider attending these writing hours and commit to your writing!
