WELCOME!

The Writing Center has two goals:

to make you more confident in your  writing

and

to address  grammar, usage, revision, and editing

as part of the writing process. 

We do this by providing information on the most frequently questioned writing and style issues. 

Thank you for visiting!

where criticism comes late and love and delight come early.
