The Graduate Writing Center

Welcome to the Graduate Writing Center!

The ECU Graduate Writing Center is a free resource available to all graduate students, online or in-person. We know that writing effectively is difficult, so we are prepared to help with all parts of the writing journey. The areas that we'll work with you in are as follows:

• Process - We will help you develop a systematic process for approaching writing

• Clarity - We will work with you to make your writing clearer

• Focus - We will help you keep your writing relevant and on-point

• Formatting & Citation - We will advise you on how to format and cite according to standards in your field

• Concerns - We will address any other concerns you have with your writing. Our goal is to make you a more effective writer overall!

Note: We do not offer comprehensive proofreading services, but we provide extensive feedback and point out errors that will help you become more confident at revising.

Our services are for graduate students!
