"I know what it feels like to write-the feelings of isolation, fatigue, hopelessness. I know what it feels like to be stuck, and I know what happens when I can talk about my writing to an interested person."
A Writing-Centered Writer

As a free resource for students, the Writing Center welcomes writers engaged in the writing process. In various stages from brainstorming topics to polishing final drafts, writers may conference with our qualified writing assistants first to clarify ideas (thesis and organization) and then to identify patterns of error (grammar and punctuation). Writers may call for an appointment or just drop by, in person or online. Our services include
  • Face-to-face response on course papers, essay exams, and applications/resumes.
  • Written response to drafts submitted online.
  • Resources for writers, including books, handouts, and software.
  • Group conferences for those working on collaborative writing assignments.
  • Specialized assistance for writers with English as an additional language, learning differences, or accommodation requests.
