The Writing Center

We help writers at any stage of the writing process—from choosing a topic to drafting and revising—for any writing project in any course. 

We help writers learn more about everything from thesis statements and organization to grammar and citation methods, revising, and proofreading. We also help writers with lab reports, scholarship essays, college essays, cover letters, and resumes.

To schedule in-person and online appointments:

• Register for a MYWCONLINE account to get started!
• You will use your Student email and create a password to schedule an appointment with a writing consultant.
• If you are unable to secure the desired time, there is a waitlist that automatically lets you know if another student cancels their appointment.

Walk-ins are welcome but appointments are encouraged:

What happens during a session

When a student signs up for a session, he or she will speak with one of our writing consultants about their writing. Writing consultants are here to discuss, motivate, and support you through the writing process.

How to Prepare

• Writing sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, after which a written summary of the topics discussed is created. This record serves to assist the next writing consultant in future sessions.
• Our team includes writing consultants from a variety of majors; all students are encouraged to utlize our writing services.    
• The Writing Center provides workshops across various writing genres; be sure to schedule your appointment.

Writing Consultants: Our writing consultants are the Writing Center Coordinator and current students at Sussex dedicated to helping you through the writing process. Each writing consultant will listen, offer advice, and help create a strategy for completing your assignment.
