No. The Writing Center is not an editing service. Our service focuses on improving your writing skills and practices through learning sessions that help you recognize and correct your own errors.
To improve the quality of the dialogue between the writer and consultant, we ask that you come in for a session or schedule an online appointment.
Many writers just want to know if the paper (or the thesis, style, etc.) is any good. We understand this concern, so our approach is to help you evaluate your own work. If you want to know, for example, whether your conclusion is good, we may brainstorm what good conclusions are supposed to do. Learning how to evaluate your own writing is an extremely valuable tool that will help you every time you write. However, we cannot predict the grade you will make on the paper. First and most important, doing so would undermine the authority of your instructor. Second, your instructor's evaluation of your paper may be based on class-specific factors that do not present themselves in the work that you bring to us.
