Welcome to the Writing Center!

 

The Writing Center, part of the Harvard College Writing Program,  is a place for Harvard undergraduates to get help with any aspect of their writing, from specific assignments to general writing skills. The Writing Center is staffed by trained undergraduate tutors who provide individual conferences at no charge to the student.You don't have to be finished–or even started–to come for a conference. You can come with ideas, notes, or a draft.  To learn more about what we do, please read this.

Conferences last one hour during our daytime hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and should be scheduled using our scheduler. We also have drop-in hours Sunday through Thursday evenings (7 p.m. to 9 p.m.).  Please check here for updated information about drop-in hours and locations. You do NOT need an appointment for drop-in hours. If you are looking for help with a thesis, please visit our thesis information page.

If you are not an undergraduate at Harvard College, please refer to the links at the top of this page for other available resources. If you have any questions, please email us, or phone us at 5-1655.
