Writers’ Studio Appointments

Let us help you defeat the white blank page.

All Writers’ Studio appointments take place in real time in the Writers’ Studio, Jordan Hall, Room 304. We no longer offer asynchronous or online appointments. In face-to-face appointments, you can talk with your tutor about your ideas, your organization, your thesis statement, your sources, etc., and your tutor can provide you the individualized instruction that helps you improve as a writer, which is our goal as tutors. 

Please keep in mind that tutors do not edit a draft for you. They serve as a second pair of eyes to catch mistakes, they can point out awkward phrasing or incorrect word choice, they can direct you to online resources like the Purdue OWL if they notice error patterns, and they can provide some explanation of citation and documentation rules, but our job as tutors is to help you learn about writing, not to edit a paper for you. Please keep that in mind when you schedule your appointment and do not expect a “corrected” paper to be provided to you.For Founder’s College students, the Writers’ Studio offers face-to-face appointments on South Campus. Tutors are available in 15-, 30-, 45-, or 60-minute time slots.
