How can the Writing Center help me to improve as a writer if Im not currently working on a paper?
We can talk to you about your writing process and help you develop more successful approaches to writing assignments. We can look at something you’ve written outside of class (or for a past assignment) and give you tips on improving content, structure, and style. We can look at a paper that a teacher has returned to you and help you understand that teacher’s advice for improving your writing. If you’ve had problems with mechanical errors in the past, we can look at something you’ve written and help you identify problems and understand how to fix them. We can also help you make your own proofreading checklist so you can find problems on your own in the future.
