Welcome to the University of Louisville's Writing Center!
Supporting writers. Building community. Researching literacy.
Every year, thousands of students and faculty come to the writing center (or hold an appointment online) to talk about not just improving a piece of writing, but how they might use writing to better learn, collaborate, and stay one step ahead of all of the things they need to get done.
For fifty minutes, writers work one-on-one with an experienced tutor for all kinds of reasons: adjusting to new standards for writing, understanding writing assignments and feedback, working on focus and study habits, talking through a difficult idea, remaining accountable, you name it. Some folks just like to come and write in an environment designed for getting work done.
Appointments are just one part of what we do. We collaborate with organization both at UofL and in the community to provide writing-related workshops and programming. We are an active research site studying how writing is changing and what that means for us all.
We've Switched Platforms
We're excited to be using a new platform called Penji this year starting on June 1st. Here is a video on getting started with Penji. We may experience outages while we make the changeover. Thank you for your patience! You can also download the Penji App using these links:
