The Writing Center provides free one-on-one consultations for all members of the UA community.

At the Writing Center, we believe that the best way to improve your writing is to talk about it. We aim to create a supportive community of writers, where you will feel that your ideas are valued and your voice matters. While we provide the writing expertise, you are the authority on content. We will encourage you to rethink and revise your work, with our help. We believe that with time and practice, in the words of Peter Elbow, “everyone can write.”

🤩Happy Friday!🤩
This week, we are spotlighting our tutor Alexandria de Cintra, a first year MA TESOL student here at Alabama🐘

🎤Describe what your experience has been like at UA so far!🎤
I've loved it! Even though I'm far from home, the southern hospitality has made me feel welcome really quickly. There are so many cool clubs too, I've started learning how to sail and do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

❤️What do you love most about working at the Writing Center?❤️
I love meeting people who are studying all sorts of different subjects and getting to see what they're writing about. It's also a great feeling when a student is a lot happier or less stressed at the end of the appointment compared to when they came in!

📝What do you love to write?📝
I love writing literary analysis essays that are informed by sociological or historical contexts, which is what I was used to in my English and American Studies undergrad. Now, in my MA TESOL, my assignments look a little different, but I'm finding my rhythm and it's interesting being able to think about my past few years of professional experience in an academic light.

Thank you so much Alexandria for sharing! You can schedule a writing consultation with Alexandria at https://writingcenter.ua.edu

Happy Friday!✨
Today, we are spotlighting our tutor Deniz Avery, who is in her first year in the TESOL/Applied Linguistics MA program here at the Capstone🐘

🎤Describe what your experience has been like at UA so far!🎤
As a late-admission student, I'm still finding my footing and occasionally caught up in a bit of chaos, but I'm not complaining! I'm genuinely grateful to be part of UA.

❤️What do you love most about working at the Writing Center?❤️
I love connecting with other students and brainstorming with them. I also love being part of our PR team, since it lets me get creative!

📝What do you love to write, and what is your favorite piece you have written?📝
I love writing short stories! Growing up in the blog era trained me to get a whole story out quickly, it might be a millennial thing :)
My favorite piece is my senior thesis, "Social Darwinism in Clifford Odets' Golden Boy," where I analyzed 1930s social drama through the lens of social, economic, and ideological tension. Drama is my favorite genre, so I really enjoyed the project, and it taught me how to formulate focused research questions and structure a clear argument.

Thank you so much Deniz for sharing! You can schedule a writing consultation with Deniz at https://writingcenter.ua.edu
