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.
