The Write Place

The Mission of the Write Place is one of service: writing consultants encourage, guide, and support student writers on any writing assignment and at any stage of the writing process. Writing consultants work with all students in their efforts to become better writers, not in their efforts to produce perfect papers. To this end, consultants do not proofread papers nor do they tell writers what to write. During consultations, consultants ask questions, offer feedback, and encourage student writers to talk through the thinking and planning process that is central to all stages of the writing process.

Instructors of first-year composition should encourage their students to use this free peer-to-peer writing support service. Students should come to the Write Place with their assignment sheet.  Write Place offers drop-in service, no appointment necessary, Monday through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and Sunday from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Write Place is located on the second floor of Roesch Library.  Write Place also offers electronic drop-off and return of drafts for peer review.
