Write to Publish (W2P) – Spring 2026
Welcome to Write to Publish (W2P)!
This non-credit course is designed for CSU’s postdoctoral fellow and graduate student writers who wish to transform an existing abstract, presentation, or course project into an article for publication. The webinars for the course are arranged thematically, meaning that we will approach topics on a schedule that approximates the revision for submission process.
See below to work through the modules for each week. The schedule alternates between Webinars (meet as a group virtually) and Writing Labs (optional drop-in writing time and one-on-one support).
