It’s not fun taking a multiple choice bubble exam or trying to organize a group project with four other busy students. But for some college students, the most dreaded task is the English paper at the end of the quarter.

Fortunately, there are places to go for help. The Petting Zoo Goats Collective is a student group at Ohio State that gives writers a chance to deliberate their work with peers.

Rebecca Kujawski, second-year in English and strategic communication, started the club this year. She transferred from Miami University, where she first discovered a group that reviews members’ writing. After coming to OSU, she decided to bring the club along.

“A lot of very serious writers shy away from workshops because they don’t think other people need to read their stuff,” Kujawski said. “It helps to get a huge spectrum of different opinion. I think a workshop is valuable in that respect. It has helped me as a writer very, very much.”

The collective’s offbeat name was created by the founder of the club in Miami.

“The first president of the Petting Zoo Goats won’t tell me why they named it that. I threatened to beat him up for it,” Kujawski said. “I wish I could say I coined that name but I didn’t.”

The Petting Zoo Goats collective meets at 6 p.m. on Tuesdays in the Starbucks on High Street across from the Ohio Union.

The format is straightforward. Members submit literature by e-mail to the group leader.

After submitting the work, they convene to discuss the writing as a group. Writers of every skill level are welcome, from the beginner to the novelist.

The club is “concentrated on creative writing first and foremost,” Kujawski said. “The group aims to improve the creative writing of its members. Not so much business writing or technical writing.”

Creative writing might a main focus, but Kujawski said the group encourages diversity in writing.

A lot of the work submitted so far has been essays and poetry, but Kujawski said there has been a surprising amount of song lyrics and lyrical poetry submitted.

“It’s taking what we do in PZG and putting it online,” Kujawski said. “So that’s another great outlet for writers.”
