Welcome to the Write Place
As tutors we believe that writing is a conversation. When we create research papers that discuss what we’ve learned or write stories about who we are, we are contributing to the larger conversation of our society; it is a conversation in print.
At The Write Place, we’re all about conversation.
We can help you during any part of the writing process. From generating ideas to providing a fresh pair of eyes on an almost-final draft and all points in between, our tutors are here to talk about your writing by reading your work, making suggestions and, most importantly, by listening.
We don’t own red pens, we don’t make editors’ marks and we won’t challenge your grammar. Instead, we’ll talk with you about your writing by asking about the assignment, reading the work aloud and discussing both what you have written and your goals for the piece.
In order for you to have the best tutoring session possible, we ask that you bring three things:
- Your assignment sheet
- A working draft, if you have one
- The willingness to engage in a conversation about your writing
Most tutoring sessions last from 20-30 minutes for up to five pages of writing, and 40-50 minutes for 5+ pages. No appointment is necessary, although appointments are available on a limited basis.
In addition to our one-on-one tutoring, we have other writing resources available for both faculty and students.
