Welcome to the Writing Centre!

All York Students are welcome!

Want to enhance your ability to produce effective academic and professional writing? Take advantage of our writing support programming. We are here to support your growth and development as a writer. Come to the Writing Centre to work on your reading, writing and critical thinking skills, no matter what your faculty, discipline, course, or assignment.

Writing is a crucial part of learning, a fact which is reflected in the heavy emphasis on written communication in all types of academic assignments (essays, reports, case studies, reflections, proposals, presentations, projects, conference posters, etc.) across the university and in the professional world.

Rather than focusing on correcting or proofreading your writing, we work with you to help you acquire and develop the tools you need to be a strong and independent writer and communicator. We also support you in brainstorming ways to improve your written communication and helping you implement them at any stage of your writing process.

Visit us in person at Ross South 311, or join us virtually through our WCOnline platform.
