Marian E. Wright Writing Center

Marian E. Wright Writing Center Saving the world, one paragraph at a time! The Writing Center is a place where students can come to get help with writing.

Our tutors are primarily students at UM-Flint who want to help others become more confident writers. Through collaboration and discussion, tutors can help students identify areas in their writing that can be strengthened. We work with students, faculty, and staff from a variety of disciplines on many different types of writing. We work with brainstorming, drafting, revising, editing, and citing--w

herever you are in the process. In addition, we have speaking services to help students with presentations and public speaking.
