Weekly Writes: Accountable You Questions

Q: What makes this accountability program different from past Weekly Writes volumes?

A: Weekly Writes Accountable You includes an additional focus on committing to a regular writing practice. After joining the Google Classroom, you’ll be asked to upload one page a week to show that you’ve worked on a prompt. This is not a submission to the magazine, and these assignments will not be read or receive any feedback. To recognize your hard work and commitment, you will receive a short note of encouragement after uploading your piece!

Q: Do I send in my weekly writing for you to read? Will I get editorial feedback on my weekly writing?

A: You will be asked to upload one page a week to Google Classroom to show that you’ve worked on at least one prompt. This is not a submission to the magazine, and these assignments will not be read or receive any feedback.

Q: I’ve done past sessions of Weekly Writes before. Is this the same thing?

A: If you already did Weekly Writes Poetry Vol. 7, or Weekly Writes Prose Vol. 6, you will see some familiar material in this summer’s program. If you can’t remember which volume you did, email us at info@thecommononline.org and we can figure it out for you! 

Q: What if I don’t want to use Google Classroom?

A: Google Classroom is the only way to receive weekly prompts, and to submit your work for accountability. Let us know if you have concerns about being able to use it!
