Public Writing Series: "Building a Sustainable Writing Routine"

As faculty plan their summer writing projects, this workshop will help faculty reconnect to the pleasures in their work, position their scholarship to speak to the present moment, and make thoughtful choices about when, how, and whether to write during stressful times. Learn to build a sustainable routine to carry you through the summer months and into the challenges of the coming seasons. 

• Date: Wednesday, April 30
• Time: 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM
• Location: Humanities Quadrangle, Room 107
• Presenter: Helen Betya Rubinstein, who has been coaching faculty writers since 2018, specializes in support for those looking to reach a broader audience, bridge disciplinary conventions, develop sustainable writing routines, or find a more harmonious relationship to their work. Rubinstein's coaching has been featured on the Drafting the Past podcast and in The Chronicle of Higher Education, and she works regularly with universities and academic writing groups around the country. She brings over fifteen years of teaching experience, five years of editorial experience, and a lifelong interest in alternative pedagogies to her coaching practice. Rubinstein's own work has appeared in Gulf Coast, The Kenyon Review, The Paris Review Daily, and many other venues, and her book Feels Like Trouble: Transgressive Takes on Writing, Teaching, & Publishing is forthcoming (University of New Orleans Press 2026).
