One of the helpful things about a writers group is sharing resources. Hours can be spent searching for the optimal tool, quote, or answer in text, at the library, and on the internet. Included in an academic's writing toolbox is crafting reviews for books, journals, and journal articles. Following is a short alphabetical list of online tools for how-to that may be helpful.

• APA - How to Review a Manuscript
• Purdue OWL - Online Writing Lab (MLA style)
• South Western Baptist Theological Seminary Book Review Template Turabian 9th Edition
• The Chicago Manual of Style Online requires a subscription.
• Turabian Book Review Example from Liberty University
• UIS - How to Review a Journal Article
• USC Libraries Research Guides
• Wiley - How to Peer Review

The Purdue OWL, UIS, USC Libraries, and Wiley sites offer basic content information as opposed to a template or style guide.

Looking at previously published book and/or journal article reviews is helpful for real-world examples. Consider the Journal of Faith and the Academy published by Faulkner University. The Journal of Veterans Studies is another example with style guide posted on the website. 

Sometimes things can come together on short notice and, well, sometimes they don't. I'm sure everyone is busy writing and reading, reading, reading. 

If you are interested but the time selected doesn't work for you then there is no other choice but to offer a survey. Click here to provide your optimal day/time and other information that may be useful.

In the meantime, consider these tools for tracking your writing notes, references, and other research details:

• Evernote
• OneNote
• Trello
• Zotero - specifically designed for research

Hello Classmates! It appeared there was interest in a writers group and I have some experience in that regard so I'm going out on a limb to propose one. I've suggested a day/time that might offer synergy for weekend writing. Starts tomorrow 2/11. Let's do this!

Zoom meeting information is below. I've not hosted a Zoom session before, so fingers crossed!
