The Center for Writing

The Center for Writing is a welcoming space where Norwich’s writers — students, faculty, and staff — come together to talk about writing.

Our mission at the Center for Writing is to create a culture of writing here at Norwich. What exactly does that mean? It means we acknowledge how much writing we all do daily in professional settings, digital environments, and within our communities. The center helps make all that writing more visible through consultations, events, workshops, discussions, classroom visits, outreach, initiatives, and relationships. We believe that we are all writers and that together we can help each other become even better writers.

To support this belief, we offer free one-to-one appointments, as well as small group workshops, to the Norwich community. Our peer writing coaches are sophomores, juniors, and seniors from a wide range of disciplines who are trained to work with writers on a variety of writing projects — academic, creative, professional, digital — at all stages of the writing process.

What We Do

Whether you need help brainstorming ideas for a history paper, organizing a lab report, or developing characters in your next novel, our writing coaches can help guide you through that process by listening to your concerns, asking thoughtful questions, and providing examples and suggestions that are tailored to your needs.

We can work with you on a variety of writing-related processes and issues, but we do not copy-edit. Our goal is to work together to become better writers. Learn more about what we do on our Appointment Information page.
