Writing Center

Writing is hard. It is a messy, complicated process that takes a great deal of time, but the rewards for writing well are numerous. There are few things more daunting to a writer than being taunted by a blinking cursor on a blank screen or having a series of good ideas that are not yet connected coherently. There's also a myth that writing is an individual endeavor, where the solitary author sits isolated in a dimly lit room waiting for good thoughts and discernible prose to happen. At the Champlain Writing Center, we believe that writing is a social process and the talk surrounding writing can make the process more beneficial and a lot less scary.

The Champlain Writing Center is dedicated to creating a culture of writing across campus that values inquiry, creativity and public service. We are a free service for students, faculty and staff working on any writing project, ranging from academic essays, to creative writing to public writing. If your project involves writing or the creation of a narrative, we are here to help.
