Writing Resources Center
The Writing Resources Center–a unit of the Writing, Rhetoric & Digital studies Department–is committed to supporting all of Charlotte’s student, faculty, and staff writers.
What we do
Our consultants support writing growth by offering individualized feedback based on a writer’s strengths, goals, and interests. We offer one-to-one support through our face-to-face, video conferencing (synchronous), and e-tutoring (asynchronous) session styles.
Who we are
Our team includes undergraduate, graduate, and professional consultants who represent multiple disciplines, including English, WRDS, Psychology, Civil Engineering, Data Science, Communications, Marketing, Philosophy, and History. They take a semester-long course about theories and practices of tutoring writing.
what to expect
The WRC has two locations: Cameron 125 is our main location, and Atkins G34 is our satellite location. For information about what to expect at our different locations, click below:
What our clients say about us
As the 2024 UNC Charlotte Homecoming Golden Niner (yes, that’s me shining in Niner glory), I’m often asked what the best thing about UNC Charlotte is. Without hesitation, my answer is always the Campus Writing Center. As a double-majoring graduate student juggling multiple weekly writing assignments, I’ve learned one golden rule: never hit submit without first uploading your draft to the Writing Center’s E-Tutoring. Let’s face it—none of us are perfect writers. The notion that seeking help is a sign of weakness? It’s outdated and needs to go the way of floppy disks. Every one of us can benefit from the expertise of a skilled, well-trained writing tutor to help refine our drafts, whether it’s revising clunky arguments, editing awkward grammar, or polishing prose to academic brilliance. If you’re not already taking advantage of this gem of a resource, it’s time to rethink your strategy. We should be hyping the Writing Center as hard as we do the Niner Course Pack. I genuinely owe my 4.0 GPA and my Golden Niner win to the invaluable feedback I’ve received there. So, let’s normalize leaning on the Writing Center—it’s already included in our tuition, and it might just be the smartest move you make all semester.
-S. L. Ivey
This was a fantastic experience. I am a novice academic writer but I received great support and awesome suggestions that were extremely helpful. I am so glad that I took the time to make an appointment. If I lived closer I would frequent the WRC more. It is a great space to think, free of distractions and really be able to write without constant interruptions. I would recommend this resource to anyone, especially graduate students who spend a lot of time writing
-Karen I.
I highly recommend the WRC. I typically use e-tutoring due to my schedule as a peer review and each time I have found the WRC very helpful. I went to Aly countless times at the WRC and each time I received very high grades on each essay or writing assignment I had.
-Becky W.
I love coming to the WRC. I have utilized this resource religiously as my programs are writing intensive.
