All writers can benefit from a second reader. At the Writing Center, trained faculty and peer tutors work with folks at any stage of the writing process, from pre-writing through drafting, revising, and editing. We believe in helping people become better writers through a facilitated understanding of their own processes: we are not a drop-off editing service, but rather a holistic, caring, and professional place where undergraduate, graduate, staff, and faculty writers can discover fruitful, clear ways to best express and explain their thoughts and research. 

Use of the Writing Center is a free service provided to all members of the Ithaca College campus community!

The Writing Center aims to help people from all disciplines, backgrounds, and experiences to develop greater independence as writers.  We are committed to helping everyone see writing as central to critical and creative thinking.  

In a friendly, comfortable atmosphere, writers at all levels and in all disciplines participate in one-on-one conferences with advanced student and faculty tutors to work on effective strategies for all aspects of the writing process. Topics explored in these conferences may include

o   idea generation, focus, and organization

o   understanding of assignments and readings

o   comprehensive rewriting of drafts

o   sentence structure and style

o   grammar, punctuation, and spelling

o   research and note-taking methods

o   source documentation
