Individual help with writing

How it works

The Writing Center is a tutorial service that assists The Gregory School MS/US students in all phases of the writing process, including finding an argument, organizing evidence, improving style, and developing good editing skills.

To meet with a Writing Center editor, you can make an appointment in advance, or you can simply drop in. Come with whatever you've got — an assignment, ideas, rough notes, or a draft in progress.
