LWC Writing Center

Welcome to the Writing Center


Writing is one of the primary means for learning and communicating during and beyond college. As you formulate, write and revise your projects for any course or other purpose, the Lindsey Wilson College Writing Center offers you free, one-to-one feedback from trained, peer writing consultants. We understand that no two writers are alike. Our dedicated staff works to bring out the best possible writer in each person regardless of age, cultural background, writing experience or academic discipline. Individual and group sessions typically last 30 minutes. Writers may also schedule back-to-back sessions for an extended 60-minute consultation.

Scheduled appointments are available during regular daily business hours, whether in-person, virtually or over the phone. In-person walk-ins are always welcome, both in the Writing Center and during our evening library hours.

To make an appointment, click on the "Schedule an Appointment" button below. Additional daily windows are available for in-person walk-ins.
