Writing Center Services at Pendergrass Library
Writing Consultations: Meet one-to-one with a Writing Center consultant, who will offer constructive feedback designed to help you with your writing processes and written document. Conversations may include planning and outlining, organizing the structure of a chapter, learning how to polish a later draft, how to cite sources, and more. If you’re stuck and need help getting going again, talking with us will help! If you have questions about your introduction, literature review, findings, or discussion sections, we can help you with that too.
Up to 60 minutes per student per week, time permitting. If other writers are waiting, we will work with you in 30-minute inten/als.
