Welcome to the McGill Writing Centre!
Would you like to refine your academic writing skills or learn to write for a specific professional audience? The McGill Writing Centre (MWC) can help you to attain your goals. As a student in one of the MWC’s courses or workshops, you will learn essential writing techniques and tips that will help you to succeed both at university and in many different professions. Located in the McLennan-Redpath Library, the MWC provides a central resource for written communication, offering credit courses for both native and non-native English speakers. The MWC’s offerings emphasize writing strategies and techniques as well as self-editing processes that will help you to identify and eliminate common mistakes. The Centre’s instructors will show you how to organize your ideas, express yourself clearly, make convincing arguments, and reach the right audience.
