Retreats
Download Flyer with writer's retreats dates and times. Writing retreats are an opportunity for graduate students and postdocs to dedicate time to their writing. Each retreat is 3 hours long and hosted by a Graduate Writing Fellow who provides drop-in consultation services for scholars seeking writing assistance.
Writing Consultations
Graduate Writing Fellows offer one-on-one writing consultations with enrolled UC Davis graduate students and postdocs. We help scholars at any stage of the writing process.
Writing Partners Program
Writing can be an isolating experience, and one that feels daunting and never ending. Sometimes we want someone to look at our writing before we submit it to our advisors. By having a designated writing partner, you will have someone to go to for a brainstorming/discussion session. You can talk about how to structure your literature review or results section. You can make sure that the idea that you are trying to convey is actually reaching the reader.
Graduate Certificate In Writing Theory and Practice
Prepare your work for publication, deepen your knowledge of writing theory, or learn cross-disciplinary principles for incorporating writing into your teaching through this certificate. Our workshop curriculum has been developed by faculty from the University Writing Program and by Graduate Writing Fellows from across the disciplines.
