Welcome to the Writing Centre!

We offer writing, reading and studio appointment help to all students, staff and faculty at Emily Carr University of Art + Design.

Our peer tutors help at all stages of the work process (brainstorming to final drafts) and with personal or academic projects.

The Writing Centre is open for appointments every day – view the schedule here.

The Writing Centre space is open whenever Writing Centre staff are on campus, which is usually 9:30 – 5:00 but can vary with staff availability.

In the ECUAD Library (2nd Floor)
