Dear colleagues,
We hope you will join us for another WIS! Specifically, Writing Human/s, the 6th annual Writing Innovation Symposium, is slated for February 1-2, 2024. Proposals for flashtalks, workshops, posters, and displays are due 10/27; proposals for flares, an undergrad-only program category, are due 12/15; applications for this year’s Bedford/St. Martin’s WIS Fellows cohort are due 12/1. Notifications will begin in early November, and registration will open in December.
We want to call special attention to the 3-minute pre-recorded “flares” we are inviting undergrads to share. For full info visit our online CFP.
Additional Details: Co-sponsored by Marquette University and Bedford/St. Martin’s, Writing Human/s will be a chance to gather onsite and online to collaboratively consider the connections and disconnects between writing and (being) human/s. To contribute, consider proposing:
-
75-minute workshops.
-
5-minute flashtalks
-
3-minute flares, a category open exclusively to undergraduate writers.
-
Or apply to be a 2024 Bedford/St. Martin’s WIS Fellow

Undergrads, grads, faculty of all ranks and roles, academic staff, and independent writers and scholars are welcome to apply. We hope to see you in February!
