Book a session at lamar.mywconline.com

Students can sign up for 30-minute sessions with our Peer Writing Consultants who have gone through a multi-session training under the model of Rice's writing center, or with our expert Faculty Writing Consultants. 

Sessions are open to all Lamar students for any piece of writing they're working on, whether it be a school assignment or a college or job application. These meetings offer writers a unique opportunity to work one-to-one with a patient and thoughtful reader who will discuss their writing, ask productive questions, and help them strategize next steps. Coaches and consultants can assist with writing goals such as: idea generation/brainstorming for an assignment, feedback on the content of a piece of writing, help with organizing your ideas in a piece of writing, citation & formatting assistance, post-high school writing (college apps, resumes, cover letters), or visual/oral presentations. 

One important difference between a Writing Lab session and a tutoring session is that we aren’t editing the writing–we are guiding the writer through the writing process! Each writer maintains ownership of their writing in their sessions.
