Writing Support at Dal AC


Become a more effective writer and presenter

The Writing Centre offers writing support to ±«Óãtv 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:

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 (spring/summer term):
Daily drop-in sessions are available to students from Monday to Friday between 10-11 a.m. Drop-ins are 10-15 minute sessions (first-come, first-served, and no appointment required).

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.
