"I suffer as always from the fear of  putting down the first line."
John Steinbeck

Our Approach

The University Writing Center uses a non-directive method when consulting with writers. We do not offer judgment or evaluation of writing, but we do ask many genuine questions about the writing so writers may think more deeply about what they are trying to say. We share the paper's effect on us so that writers can consider whether the paper works as they intend it to. We suggest techniques and methods for revising, rewriting, and polishing drafts. Our approach is to empower writers. Rather than directing them what to think and say, we help them express their ideas as they want to.
