How Can We Help You?

Writing Center Mission Statement

The Writing Center is an instructional service with the mission of helping student writers in all stages of the composing process. Our writing consultants can address a variety of writing issues in any stage of a paper. Consultants can help students with writing projects in any discipline. Students can expect knowledgeable, professional help with their work; the Writing Center is staffed with graduate students, undergraduate students, and English Department faculty members. The Writing Center consultants want students to become thoughtful, independent writers which means that the consultants will work with students in planning and brainstorming, through the drafting process, and in finalizing the paper.

Do I have to be in an English class to get help with my writing?

Many students believe they have to be in an English class in order to take advantage of the Writing Center; however, this is not true.  Bring your writing projects from any class or major, and we'll be glad to work with you.

When can I come to the Writing Center?

The Writing Center has regular hours each week.  You can make an appointment, or you can just drop in.  To make an appointment, call 254-968-1814.  If you want to drop by with your work, we are located in the Humanities Building, Room 210.  We also have regular hours in the University Library several nights each week during the fall and spring semesters. If our writing consultants are busy when you arrive, they will be glad to set an appointment for you at a later time, usually that same day.  You are also welcome to wait for the next available consultant. Bring your writing projects to the Writing Center well in advance of the due date so the consultants have more time to work with you.  We also have an online tutorial service you may use by emailing writingcenter@tarleton.edu.
