Welcome to the MICA Writing Studio 🚀

The MICA Writing Studio is a creative and inclusive space on campus dedicated to furthering your writing practice through one-on-one tutoring sessions with our professional staff. These sessions will be tailored to you, whether you are writing an academic essay, building confidence in your English language proficiency, or brainstorming ideas for a personal project. Bring us whatever you have, even if what you have is a blank page.

**Important Update: The Writing Studio has moved. Come visit us on the 2nd floor of 81 Mosher!**

What We Offer You

  • 🕒 Personalized 50-Minute Sessions: Got 50 minutes? Let’s make them count. This is your time. We just help you use it effectively. Double sessions are also available for longer projects.
  • 🌐 In-Person or Online: You choose! The Writing Studio is located on the second floor of 81 Mosher but we always have online sessions available.
  • 📝 For All Your Projects: Essays, portfolios, or anything in between – we support all kinds of writing and can even help with reading comprehension or public speaking.
  • 🌎For You; For Everyone: Is English your first language, second language, or third? Are you dipping your toe in writing or already confident? Are you working on traditional papers or creative projects that include words? We're here for you. 

Visit the Writing Studio Today

Tutoring is available daily throughout the week from 10 AM to 11 PM (hours may vary depending on the day) with online availability on the weekends.

English-Language Learner (ELL) Support

The Writing Studio also serves as the primary learning resource for students who are interested in gaining confidence and comprehension with the English language. We provide guidance and practice in writing, speaking, and reading. If you’re looking to increase your English language proficiency, stop by the Writing Studio and speak with a tutor.

Make the most of your session by reviewing the following...

  • Goal: What's your mission? What do you want to write, read, make, or understand? Not sure? That's ok! We'll help you find your goal and achieve it.
  • Work: Bring whatever you have, even if that's just yourself. Our tutors are happy to review drafts and outlines or help you brainstorm. For assignments for class, it may be helpful to bring the assignment details, syllabus, and/or texts.
  • Expectations: Our tutors are here to help you write better. They're here to talk, ask questions, identify patterns, explain concepts, and offer tools. Instead of editing, they will show you how you can edit more effectively. Instead of proofreading, they will make space for you to identify and fix errors.

The Writing Studio exists to empower you, the writer. We tailor each and every session to your abilities and needs. Your tutor will ask how they can help and take it from there.

There are only two things that are true across every session: (1) your writing is valuable and worthy of discussion and (2) we cannot write for you.

  • We’re your brainstorming buddies and strategy friends.
  • Expect real talk, respectful feedback, and creative collaborations.
  • We tackle the big ideas first, then zoom in on the details.
