Writing Tutors

Peer writing tutors are available to help with a variety of writing projects, from brainstorming to development to editing. You can bring in any writing project, such as a paper for your first-year course, a project proposal, your capstone, or a personal statement.

Writing tutors are available by appointment or drop-in.

For longer papers and special projects, you may also schedule appointments with our professional writing counselors, Becky Graham and Jake Mohan, by emailing them directly: 

graham@macalester.edu
jmohan@macalester.edu

Works in Progress

Works in Progress is a peer-review program where writing tutors facilitate workshops for specific classes. Students meet in the MAX Center to respond to each other’s writing and develop strategies for revision. Faculty members interested in implementing Works in Progress in their classes should contact Julie Lucking at lucking@macalester.edu.
