What is a writing center and what can it do for you?

Whether you are an experienced writer or are just starting out, the UM-Tupelo Writing Center is here to help! We provide free and effective consultations and resources that regional students need to progress as writers. Our trained consultants are ready to collaborate with you on any writing project you may be working on and at any stage of development.

Our consultants are available to collaborate with you on a wide variety of topics including:

  • Brainstorming an essay
  • Improving grammar and word choice
  • Organization
  • Revision and proofreading strategies
  • Finding and integrating sources
