What Is the Writing Center?
It's a place where...
- American University students meet with other AU students to talk about writing.
- Students meet with student consultants—undergrad and graduate students themselves—who understand your writing needs.
- Writing consultants are happy to work with you on any writing project, from essays to cover letters and application essays.
In free, 45-minute consultations, we will work with you on issues such as:
- Interpreting a writing assignment
- Generating ideas
- Locating and sharpening a thesis statement
- Organizing ideas and research
- Developing logical arguments
- Polishing your prose
- Finding strategies for revising
- Identifying recurrent errors
"Students prepare papers, we prepare students."
Please see our FAQ for more details
The Writing Center is sponsored by the Department of Literature and College of Arts and Sciences.
