St. John's University Institute for Writing Studies

The Writing Center provides a place where all University students, faculty, and staff are welcome to discuss their writing with trained writing consultants. It is one of the three arms of the University's Institute for Writing Studies (IWS) and exists to collaborate with all writers. In addition to providing one-to-one consultations with students, the Writing Center sponsors readings and presentations by students and faculty, as well as faculty conversations about writing pedagogy and research methods. Our undergraduate and graduate consultants are active in professional organizations and present their research at regional and national conferences. The Writing Center exists to foster a writing culture across the University.
