WRITING CENTER

We offer 30- and 60-minute consultations as well as walk-in appointments, free of charge, to all MSU writers. We are prepared to work with writers on a variety of genres (including assignments for class as well as professional documents and materials, like resumes, cover letters, scholarship essays, and CVs), and we are also prepared to work with writers during any stage of their writing processes (to brainstorm, develop, and revise.). We spend the most time working with writers to develop and support ideas in response to particular rhetorical situations (like a class assignment or responding to a job ad), to summarize and synthesize research findings, to discover and better understand the conventions of writing within their disciplines or fields (including understanding style guides), and to address audiences appropriately. It is a good idea to think of us as a place to work on writing rather than as a finishing service. The Writing Center does not edit writing, but we do help writers..
