Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Writing Center (WC)?
The Writing Center is a writing resource for FSU students of all majors, programs, and backgrounds. In the Writing Center, consultants act as practice audiences for ideas and writing projects.
What projects can I work on at the Writing Center?
The Writing Center welcomes all writing projects. We work with students on writing such as critical essays, research papers, theses and dissertation drafts, creative writing, and professional job documents. When you schedule a meeting, our consultants will discuss your writing goals and areas of focus (brainstorming, organization, formatting, etc.) with you.
Who can I work with and how can they help me?
Our consultants are undergraduate and graduate students. Read their bios and learn more about their specialty areas: Meet the Consultants.

Whether the session is in-person or online, our consultants can work with students on any stage of the writing process from brainstorming to revising. They can work with you as you develop ideas or revise aspects of your writing, but please note that consultants cannot line edit for students. Our goal is to work with students and offer strategies or approaches for their writing projects.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Please bring a laptop or have two paper copies of your writing ready at the start of the consultation. If you are working on a draft or have written ideas, you can upload the file(s) to your appointment form.
How do I make an appointment?
If you haven't used our service before, register for an account here. Log in at fsu.mywconline.com, select a schedule, and make an appointment by selecting an available time. You will receive an email confirmation indicating your appointment has been made. You can log back into the system at any time to change or cancel your appointment.
What if I need to cancel my appointment?
If you can’t attend your in-person or Zoom meeting, please cancel your appointment at fsu.mywconline.com. There is no penalty for a cancellation. However, if you miss your meeting and don't cancel, we will mark you as a no-show. After three no-shows, your account will automatically be deactivated until you contact the Writing Center Director (english-rwc-ds@fsu.edu).
Will the Writing Center proofread or edit my work?
The Writing Center will not proofread or line edit for students. Instead, a consultant will work with you to learn skills and strategies that will help you proofread and edit more effectively.
Do I need to bring a draft to my session?
No. You are not required to bring any writing to the Writing Center. Consultants can assist you at any stage of the writing process including the early idea stages. Simply make an appointment and note brainstorming as one of your goals in the form.
What is the Digital Studio (DS)?
The Digital Studio is a learning facility for research, presentations, and digital projects. Consultants in the DS can help students with presentation design, delivery, research posters, graphic design, web design, and more. Digital Studio computers are large, fast, and reliable. They all have access to the Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere). For more information, visit the Digital Studio's website.
I am an undergraduate. How can I get involved?
The Writing Center hires undergraduate interns from any major who have taken ENC 3493: Peer Tutoring in the Reading-Writing Center and Digital Studio. This prerequisite course explores how learners approach writing and why these approaches are highly individualized. ENC 3493 is an experiential learning course that includes observation and co-consulting with current Writing Center consultants.
