Writing centers are in the business of improving writing, one writer at at time. They are also in the business of promoting writing--on campus and throughout the community.
What follows are two podcasts drawn from interviews with writers about writing. What’s most unique about these contributions is that participants speak from their unique perspectives as writing center workers. Working elbow-to-elbow with writers--one-on-one--teaches us something about writing and writers. Here writing center professionals share these stories--about writing, writing centers, and themselves as writers.
