Writing Centre

Become a more effective writer and presenter

The Writing Centre offers writing support to Dalhousie and King's students in all undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. We are happy to provide feedback at any stage of the writing process from pre-writing to revision. We also advise on grammar, punctuation, and citation, but please note that the Writing Centre is not a proofreading or copyediting service. Our goal is to support you to write independently. 

What we offer:

• one-to-one in-person and online appointments to discuss written work, from first-year assignments to presentation slides and posters to final reports and dissertations
• writing workshops
• academic integrity support
• supplemental classes
• special events to support student writing

Types of assignments/work we can help with:

• research papers
• thesis chapters
• essays
• in-class writing assignments
• technical writing
• class presentations and posters
• mock defense run-throughs
• business reports
• applications and letters of intent
• proposals

Daily drop-in sessions:
Daily drop-in sessions are available to students from Monday to Friday from 10-11 a.m. and 2:30-3:30 p.m. at the Killam Building (room G40). Drop-ins are 10-15 minute sessions (first-come, first-served, and no appointment required). Virtual drop-ins are also available during these times.

Note: If you experience technical difficulties with the intake form (or would prefer an alternative to the form), please write to us at writingc@dal.ca or call 902-494-1963 to book directly.
