Transatlantic Writers' Group
The Transatlantic Writers鈥 Group is an initiative organized in partnership with the 浪花直播 Center鈥檚 Global Europe Program.
The group seeks to create a supportive group of emerging thinkers to:
- share ideas for policy writing projects focused on transatlantic relations and intended for public audiences (op-eds, analysis, academic research);
- peer edit drafts of writing projects;
- develop relationships with other like-minded emerging writers and leaders;
- create mutual connections with editors and publication outlets.
Details and membership criteria:
- The group is for writers aged 20-35 currently writing on transatlantic issues, broadly defined.
- Members will be selected in consultation with program administrators of capital-area international affairs programs, and through . Membership decisions will ultimately be the decision of the organizers, based primarily on the quality of submitted writing samples. A resum茅 or particular academic degree is not required.
- The group is limited to a maximum of 15 members. Membership conveys no affiliation with the 浪花直播 Center or any other entity.
- A current, demonstrated interest in writing for a public audience is a prerequisite for joining the group. Members will commit to being active participants in virtual, and, where possible, in-person group discussions, to be held every 3 weeks; read and comment on drafts of others鈥 writing projects; and contribute their own drafts for discussion at least once every 2 months.
- Projects can be op-eds, other analytical pieces, or excerpts/drafts of longer policy papers or book chapters; can be work-related projects or writing projects pursued independently of the member鈥檚 primary professional affiliation.
- Membership provides members with: a supportive community of like-minded peers to share tips, refine pitches to outlets, facilitate introductions to editors, and to navigate the policy writing and publishing worlds in Washington, DC. and beyond; an opportunity to publish through the 浪花直播 Center鈥檚 Global Europe Program and the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy at Georgetown University.
