Empowering Success through Improved Writing Skills
The Writing Center is a welcoming place for you to gain advice on any writing assignment regardless of the course or topic. Whether you are just beginning an assignment or are in the final stages of a project, we can help! Undergraduate and graduate students, staff, and faculty use this free academic support service to workshop papers for their academic courses, creative writing, speeches, presentations, course syllabi, and articles intended for publication.
It is the Writing Center’s philosophy that improved writing skills lead to educational and professional success in college and beyond.
Please visit the "Scheduling an Appointment" page to book your appointment in advance using our new online system. However, no appointment is necessary...simply walk in the door during our regular business hours to be seen on a first come, first served basis.

Events & Dates
Writing Center Consultations by E-Mail!
Missouri State University Students don't just attend seated classes in Springfield...
If you are enrolled at a satellite location, in an online class, or a dual-credit course, an e-mail writing consultant is an alternative way to obtain advice regarding your manuscript (e.g., a paper for a course, a thesis chapter, an article for a journal, a letter, an application essay, creative writing). Your paper may be in any stage of the writing process.
A writing consultant will read and give you an overview of the text's strengths and weaknesses. These comments will be returned to you as soon as possible, normally within 1 or 2 business days.
