Welcome to the A&M-Commerce Writing Center

The Writing Center is dedicated to helping writers take advantage of all opportunities for learning inherent in the writing process; to that end, we can assist writers at any stage of the writing process. By working with students one-on-one or in small groups, tutors can help writers analyze the rhetorical demands of the writing task, generate and focus ideas at the prewriting stage, ensure they are addressing the writing assignment directly and effectively, elaborate and rework a rough draft after hearing the writer read the draft aloud, discover their strengths and weaknesses in a particular rhetorical context, strengthen arguments, spot weak rhetorical choices and make more effectve choices, and address formatting or other surface-level concerns. At no point do our tutors write these papers for the students. All writers working in the Writing Center maintain control of their essays; we simply offer support and feedback and ask questions they may not have been asking themselves (or may not have even known to ask themselves).
