The Sluggish Writers’ Collective

Yellow Sluggish Writers' Collective Logo on black background. Two banana slugs on a motorcycle surrounded by the phrase "The Sluggish Writers' Collective - Enjoy the Write" written in a circle.

The Sluggish Writers’ Collective was formed in Fall Quarter 2023 to support graduate students across departments to write together and build community. We hold writing sessions throughout the quarter (with food!) and a day-long writing retreat at the end of each quarter.

Check out flyers from our recent events below!
