Writing Centre Summer Support

Our colleagues in Trinity’s Writing Centre are offering virtual writing support during the summer session until August 8, 2020.

The Writing Centre is available to assist students with their academic writing assignments in any subject at any stage of the writing process. Trained writing coaches help students individually with writing tasks such as choosing a topic, formulating a thesis, generating ideas, organizing an outline, assessing paragraph development, documenting sources, and revising sentence structure, grammar, word choice, and punctuation. Please note, that the Writing Centre is not an editing or proofreading service. There is no charge for this service.

To book an online appointment, please visit: TWU.ca/writing-centre
