A Creative Space
The Write Place is an informal and comfortable space where writers can talk about
their writing concerns with tutors who are willing to listen, share, and respond.
The goal of these tutorial writing conversations is not necessarily to perfect a given
paper so much as it is to help students learn about their own processes as they work
through the writing assigned in their classes. People who use The Write Place on a
regular basis tend to develop a heightened awareness of their process, discover a
variety of strategies for working through papers, and thus develop stronger pieces
of writing.
Our mission:
- Assist writers, during every stage of their writing projects, regardless of their
status (faculty or students), their level of proficiency, or their college;
- Create a supportive environment in which writers and their readers can work effectively
one-to-one;
- Train writing peer tutors to become knowledgeable, effective readers and responders
to texts from various disciplines.
Improving the Writing Process.
In addition, The Write Place continuously attempts to overcome the stereotype that
this is a place where only remedial students come for help. We serve all levels of
writers, from beginners to experts. We view writing here as an ongoing process and
we help students at every point of that process, from understanding readings and interpreting
assignments to brainstorming, organizing, drafting, and editing. Overall, we want
to help students understand their own writing processes and not just "fix"a particular
problem. We believe that students can accomplish and learn much more if they attend
regularly to work on on-going concerns rather than just coming for one or two visits
to work on short-term problems.
Please contact your professor for information about The Write Place and/or other available
