This week-long intensive workshop is designed for academic writers in the humanities and humanistic social sciences who wish to reach a broader public. Participants will be given strategies for writing for different audiences and for disseminating work in non-academic channels. Learn strategies drawn from creative non-fiction, journalism, and public writing, such as narrative structure, character development, voice, and point of view!

The workshop is limited to 18 spaces, with preference given to mid-level (Associate) professors and/or academic researchers who have published a previous book. All applicants must have completed doctoral work by May 15, 2022. The ideal candidate is a scholar who has a clear sense of their project and has done significant research, but who is in the early stages of writing a substantial book project. This workshop is not primarily intended for those who are hoping to adapt an existing academic manuscript.

Workshop Instructors:


*Eva-Lynn Jagoe*is a Professor of Comparative Literature and Spanish, and Vice Principal of Innis College. She is the author of the memoir /Take Her, She’s Yours/ (2020), and an award-winning writer of creative nonfiction essays. She co-founded this workshop after learning from firsthand experience how hard it is to write non-academic prose.


*Gretchen Bakke*is an anthropologist and professional writer with extensive experience writing for both academic and non-academic readership. Author of /The Grid: The Fraying Wires between Americans and our Energy Future/ (a 2016 Bill Gates pick), and the ebullient genre-bending ethnography /The Likeness/ (2020), Bakke is a Heisenberg Fellow at Humboldt University in Berlin.
