Vassar College Writing Center

Welcome back, writers! The fall semester has begun and the Writing Center is open. You can come to brainstorm for your first essay of the term, talk about a poem you wrote this summer, or just say hi.

Make an appointment with one of our amazing consultants at vassar.mywconline.com. We are open Sunday through Thursday from 3-11pm.

We'll see you soon!

A fun fact for study week: the Writing Center will be open through Tuesday the 14th! Come talk about writing with us :)

There will be no official Open Writing Space today (no snacks :(), but, as always, feel free to do work in the WC.

Starting tomorrow (2/17), the Writing Center will be open on Sundays from 1-3 WITH SNACKS for anyone to come and work on writing projects surrounded by other people who are also writing. Hold yourself accountable! Hold your friends accountable! Got a chapter of your thesis to write? An application to finish? An essay to plan? A creative writing piece that you've been meaning to write for months but haven't actually started yet? Come through tomorrow, and we can all make each other do work. :)

***There will be no scheduled consultations during this time, but there will be other people working on writing projects, so feel free to come by and bounce ideas off of someone or ask a writing-related question.

Thank you all for trusting us with your papers for another incredible semester! Your collective creativity and thoughtfulness never cease to make our jobs worth the late hours and endless Vprint

Our last day open for the semester is Tuesday, May 8th! We will be closed study week and have no drop-in hours on Founder's Day

Come for the candy, stay for the memes

We're so excited to announce that beginning next weekend the Writing Center will hold DROP-IN HOURS IN THE RETREAT. From 1-3 every Friday and Saturday, 2-3 consultants will be available in the retreat to talk about cover letters, papers, applications, short stories, or any other questions about the writing process.

The Vassar Critical Journal is accepting submissions for the second edition! This is an excellent opportunity to have your work shared widely with no extra work on your part (It also looks great on a resume or grad school application). Bring any paper to the Writing Center and discuss it if you’re feeling nervous about submitting!

Important info:

Papers may be on any topic, as long as they focus on a work of literature or engage theoretical approaches to literature.

The deadline is Feb. 20, 2018. All papers should be submitted on the VCJ website:
https://pages.vassar.edu/vassarcriticaljournal/submit/

Remove your name and any other identifying features from the actual submission to ensure blind review by our team of student editors.
