How Does It Work?

A friendly and experienced Writing Center staff member will sit with you and talk to you about your writing assignment. Sessions will generally last between 30 minutes to an hour. During the session, a staff member will read your writing, will answer your questions, and will offer feedback. We are happy to help at any phase of the writing process:

  • Understanding the assignment
  • Getting started on the assignment
  • Discussing specific aspects of your draft: the thesis, organization, and language.
  • Offering guidance on using sources

Online Writing Center Services

Online support is available, and the steps are easy! Just do the following:

  1. Complete the Writing Center sign-in form
  2. Email writingcenter@mctc.edu from your MCTC email address
  3. Attach the writing assignment instructions and your writing assignment draft.

A Writing Center staff member will get back to you in 24-48 hours.

Other Services

In addition to providing feedback on your writing, the Writing Center proudly offers these services:

  • Writing workshops led by MCTC English faculty
  • Laptops and space to work on writing assignments
  • Free resources and guides on writing

Pro Tips!

Staff members will review the assignment instructions before they read your draft. Please bring a copy of the instructions (or have access to the instructions on your laptop or tablet) when you visit the Writing Center.

Please be aware that staff will not edit or “fix” your writing. While staff are happy to discuss punctuation and grammar, they do not provide a proofreading service, and they will not write your assignment for you. You are the writer—we are here to support you!
