Writers' Workshop series on the Savage Minds anthropology blog
Writing can be a solitary activity. In January 2014, I started an online writing group on Savage Minds which included weekly check-ins and best of all, weekly essays on writing from talented anthropologists. To see all of the writing group and Writers' Workshop posts, click here. All of the (wonderful, inspiring) individual essays are listed below.
