The Writing Center can provide feedback on your writing, no matter your major, class year or skill level. Trained peer writing consultants help with every phase of the writing process, from brainstorming to revision. We aim to foster your growth, independence and confidence in your writing skills by giving focused feedback specific to each writer and assignment. We offer writing consultations and a drop-off service for written feedback.

What We Do
Assignment analysis and project brainstorming
Writing consultants are happy to help you plan your writing project. We can help you determine your approach to completing an assignment, develop your topic, craft thesis statements, organize ideas, develop outlines and assist with any other pre-writing needs.
Drafting and revision
Writing consultants believe that collaborating makes the writing process more enjoyable. During the drafting and revision process, we work together to clarify ideas, strengthen arguments and solidify structure. Rather than proofreading or editing, we coach you to identify patterns of error in your own writing and direct you to great grammar resources to help you become a confident, independent writer.
Preparing presentations and other new-media communications
Writing consultants understand your assignments aren’t always in the form of academic essays. We can support your writing process no matter the medium you’re using, from digital posts and projects to crafting a presentation.
