At the Millikin
University Writing Center, we invite students
and other clients in to have
discussions about their writing and to get
help with any step of their writing process.
We can
offer advice on such areas as brainstorming,
drafting and composing, editing and revision,
or even
style.
However, the Writing Center is not really designed
to "fix" a specific writing assignment
with a one-time visit. We do not proofread papers
for students, nor do we award a "grade" to any draft. We are, instead, a teaching and
enhancement center where students and clients
come to have conversations about writing in
all of its varied phases and complexities. We
invite students to come and learn how to improve
or fine-tune their own overall writing skills
and abilities. We offer ourselves as professional
and knowledgeable readers who have developed
experiences with writing purposes, tasks, audiences,
and goals. Our aim is to serve the entire spectrum
of writers, from those who consider themselves
experienced and comfortable with most writing
tasks to those who find even the most basic
writing tasks intimidating and frustrating.
We are here to help you.
