Flourishing as a tenure-track faculty member in academia is no small feat. Best practices in writing are often neglected as faculty struggle to balance competing demands on their time. For women who try to balance both home and work responsibilities, this task can be overwhelming. This study documents the outcomes of a writers’ group formed to increase the scholarly output of its members. Findings suggest that this writers' group model not only has potential to increase writing productivity but also offers the possibility of producing unanticipated outcomes including support and encouragement leading to greater professional and personal balance.
