Director’s Welcome 

Welcome to the Writing Center at Eastern Kentucky University. We are currently working on making our website more helpful by offering useful resources and links for student writers, so check back often! 

My dedicated staff and I are committed to helping students develop composition skills, and though we are not an editing service, we offer a diverse selection of services. The Writing Center is for all students, at all levels, and at all stages of the writing process. Our services are free of charge. Tutors are available to assist students with topic selection; brainstorming; research documentation; reading comprehension; topic development; UWR (University Writing Exam) preparation; and revision. The Center offers a wide variety of resources to students, including MLA, APA and Chicago style documentation manuals; dictionaries and thesauruses; grammar handbooks; and sample UWR writing prompts.  

Our skilled and enthusiastic tutors are comprised primarily of English graduate students who understand the pressure and stress that come with writing assignments. Make sure you check out the tutor profiles to become more familiar with our wonderful staff.

As for myself, I have been teaching at Eastern since 2000. I actually started out as a graduate assistant tutoring right here in our Writing Center. Since then, I have become a lecturer in the English department, teaching everything from developmental composition to world literature classes. My professional interests include Old English and Medieval Literature as well as Feminist Theory.
