Writing Center
Write Place. Write Time.
Take your writing to the next level! Work one-on-one with one of our consultants or join us for an event designed to make the writing process more fun and approachable.
Appointments Open on 9/9
We are currently switching from our current appointment management system to EAB Navigate. We will update this area soon with how to book sessions. Our sessions will begin on Monday, September 9th.
If you’d like to receive an email when the schedule is ready for booking sessions, you can let us know by visiting us in person (103 Talbot Hall), calling us (903.886.5280) or emailing ([email protected]).
We look forward to supporting you in sessions soon!
Meet the Consultants
Our consultants are current East Texas A&M students who have completed ENG 495: Writing Center Internship & Practicum or the graduate-level equivalent.
Interested in working in the Writing Center? Applications for ENG 495 will reopen in the spring. If you are interested and would like more information, reach out to us at [email protected].

Welcome from the Writing Center Director
Since 1977, the Writing Center at East Texas A&M has supported the writing of students, faculty and staff. We welcome writing projects at any stage, from brainstorming to polishing. We are also here to coach you through writing-heavy semesters and long projects (like theses, dissertations or book projects). We believe writing is learned best in inquisitive collaboration and understand our role primarily as readers who provide interested, thoughtful and open-minded responses. We are writers ourselves, and as such, we learn both from and alongside the writers that visit the Center. We value every literacy background writers bring to the Center, from vocabularies, dialects, and languages used at home, work, school and from regions and/or nations not our own. Our goal is to support you in bringing your writing skills to different contexts and practicing new skills along the way. In one-on-one sessions, we discuss the writing project, process, context and possibilities, aiming to support writers in developing and accomplishing their unique writing goals.
