Welcome to the Writing Centre!

We offer appointments for help with writing, reading and studio practice 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 versions) and with personal or academic projects.

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)
