Welcome to the Center for Writers

The Center for Writers (CFW) offers free writing support to all NDSU undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff. Whether you're working on a class assignment, thesis or dissertation, journal article, presentation, or personal project, we're here to help you become a more confident, independent writer. Our writing consultants have experience working in a range of disciplines at all levels. Through thoughtful conversation and careful reading of your text, we can help you make informed and effective decisions as a writer.

You can meet one-on-one with a writing consultant, attend a workshop, join a writing group, or simply stop by to write in a supportive environment. Check out our upcoming events on MyNDSU.
