The Writing Center invites writers to submit drafts online for response. Our Method Writing assistants do not proofread or revise papers. Instead, we respond to each draft as a whole rather than line by line.
Attention is given first to thesis and organization and then to grammar.
Response Time We can generally respond within 48 hours to papers mailed Sunday through Thursday. Papers mailed after noon on Friday will be read on the following Monday. Unfortunately, we cannot respond to papers received after dead week or during school breaks. The Writing Center welcomes drafts from writers outside of Western, but student drafts will be given priority over all external submissions. All Western drafts will be responded to in the order in which they are received.
