Welcome to the Fred Meijer Center for Writing and Michigan Authors

We assist all writers at any stage of their writing processes. Our 53 peer consultants can help with brainstorming ideas, organizing content, paraphrasing or summarizing research from various sources, polishing a final draft, and correctly documenting sources. Our goal is to give writers the sort of feedback and support they need to write successfully. We offer a variety of services to students and faculty.

DROP-IN HOURS & APPOINTMENTS
Graduate and undergraduate students at the university can take advantage of our drop-in hours by simply coming into the Center with whatever paper you are working on. See our Hours and Locations for additional information about walk-in hours.

You can also call the Center at 331-2922 to schedule an appointment at any of our locations.
