The Write Place

Welcome to the Write Place: Hamilton Library 109

Who we are:

We are good writers. And so are you. We are faculty and student associates dedicated to helping you build your confidence and improve your written communication during any stage of the writing process.

What we can do for you:

If you’re having trouble understanding one of your assignments, we can explain it.

If you’re not clear about the structure of a paper, we can help you get organized.

If poor grammar or mechanics cloud your ideas, we can help your writing become clear and concise.

If you’re new to proper citation, we’ll get you up to speed.

How to engage with us:

Sign up for an appointment online by visiting myFC. Or, if we’re available, just walk right in. Prefer to communicate via e-mail? Message us at wrpadmins@franklincollege.edu

What happens during a Write Place consultation?
At the beginning of the session, the Write Place associate will ask you about your assignment and your goals for the appointment. You can expect to focus on two or three areas of concern during your visit. These areas might include grammar, mechanics, organization, structure, idea development, argument support, etc. To get the most out of your session, be sure to bring the writing prompt or assignment with you.
What doesn’t happen during a Write Place consultation?
We don’t offer quick fixes. Instead, we focus on long-term improvement. We also don’t proofread entire papers. We leave that up to you. But we’re happy to help you polish your proofreading skills. Just ask!
Should I wait to come in until I have a finished draft?
No! We welcome you to visit the Write Place at any point in the writing process.
