Hi,
Does anyone know of an online community where you can start/join a writing support group?
Jen

hi jen,

Do you already have participants or are you looking for participants? If you already have a group and just need a forum you can use the "study groups" feature on this site. This essentially gives you and your invited friends/colleagues a private forum.

There are many private forums that are active right now and seem to work well. (You can't see that they exist unless you are an invited participant.) Some are department-specific dissertation writing groups. Other study groups are talking about field exams at their school. A couple years back, some fellow students and I used a forum to study for our comprehensive exams. There's even one forum of students who met at a conference and are now collaborating on a paper together.

Anyway, let me know if that's what you're looking for,
stacey
