Untenured faculty writing group

This page is a landing page for untenured faculty at OSUL. In an effort to support one another and our common experiences, we've agreed to use this forum to share resources and to set up small working groups, and anything else we think would be useful.

Resource list

Include here any books, articles, etc., that you've found useful in getting started with your writing, staying motivated, help for specific kinds of writing, etc. (We can always move this to a new page, or separate it into sections, so go ahead and do whatever you think make sense.)
