Writing Center at Texas A&M University-Commerce

Writing Center at Texas A&M University-Commerce Located in the Hall of Languages, Rm #103

-Hours-
MTWR: 9a-4p
Fri: 9a-1p In short, we are here to help writers help themselves.

We work from the premise that all writers benefit from engaging conversations with attentive, informed, and caring "readers" trained to ask probing questions and offer useful feedback. That's what we do in the Writing Center; we offer writers opportunities to bounce ideas off potential readers before committing them to paper, to "try out" a draft to see whether it seems clear and convincing, to ex

plore and discover effective strategies for revising and editing their own texts, and to push past writer's block when it happens.

The Writing Center celebrated another terrific semester and gave a fond farewell to two of its most seasoned and respected tutors: Andrew Burnes and Jonathan Zananiri. We wish you the very best of luck and will miss your passion for helping students succeed: "Tutoring writing is only one part of what we do." Thanks for that insight, Jon!

Congratulations, Megan Opperman! The Writing Center's 2015-2016 Tutor-of-the-Year!
