What is the Writing Center?
The Writing Center provides free writing consultation for students, faculty, staff, and the community. This includes writing for ALL courses, professional writing, creative, and personal writing.
Who can use the Writing Center?
We are open to the college community and the community at large. No appointments are necessary.
What kind of help do the Writing Center consultants offer?
The consultants in the Writing Center can help writers during any phase of the writing process, on any subject, from brainstorming to a final copy and anywhere in between. They assist in document preparation, citation style, research, and other more technical aspects of the writing process. They also help with creative writing, personal writing, technical communication and college entrance essays.
Will a consultant proofread an essay?
The Writing Center consultants do not proofread. They provide suggestions for improving the writing and for developing a more effective writing process. They are happy to diagnose and discuss grammatical, stylistic, and/or mechanical problems, offer suggestions for improving writing style, etc. However, proofreading does little to further a writer’s understanding of grammar and mechanics. By diagnosing the problem, the consultants in the WC encourage writers to become stronger self-editors.
