GEARS and AOK Library presents Writing Accountability Groups for Spring 2026!

What are Writing Accountability Group, or WAGs at UMBC?

What: Writing Accountability Groups (WAGs) are voluntary and facilitated by fellow UMBC graduate students.
Who: WAGs are composed of a group of graduate students (usually 4–8 participants per group) interested in developing writing habits and accountability.
Why: Develop habits of writing every day for a short, manageable period of time by setting goals and being accountable to WAG peers.
When: WAG groups meet once a week for 60–90 minutes for 10–12 weeks. The group finds a weekly time mutually convenient to all group members.
Where: The group decides on a mutually convenient location to meet, whether in person or online via WebEx or another videoconferencing platform.
