Western Writing Center

We're in the business of reading your papers before your professors do.

The Writing Center is the only academic support unit on the WOU campus specifically designed to promote your development and success as a college writer. The consultant team is available to assist you in person with writing projects for any course and any level of instruction.

You are invited to utilize Writing Center services at a variety of stages in your writing processes:

* understanding assignment directions
* brainstorming ideas
* creating "maps" or outlines
* checking to see that your project specifically meets the directions specified by your instructor
* exploring practical routes for revision and development
* adhering to format and style guides (e.g., AAA, APA, APSA, CBE, Chicago, and MLA)
