The National Conversation on Writing invites you to join the conversation.

Learn about the various ways you can contribute by making video or audio recordings of your own interviews, by using NCoW assignments in your classes and encouraging colleagues to consider them, by sharing writers' work, or by contributing lessons or ideas for using NCoW in your teaching or other work.

The links on the right lead to suggestions for participating, easy-to-follow "technical" instructions, a list of interview questions, tips for conducting and recording / reporting an interview, ready-to-use a consent form, and a submission form to accompany your contribution. You can read sections online or download the complete guide as a PDF file.

We know that you will have ideas that will help make this project more effective. Please contact us to share.

When you have projects to contribute--video, audio, print, multi-modal--use our submission form to provide information about your work and for information about where / how to send your submission.

If you have questions about submitting to NCoW, contact Shannon Carter or Dominic Delli Carpini.
