The Writing Center is open to all members of the USM  community to consult on any type of writing at any stage of the process. We believe that all writing can benefit from a second set of eyes. Our staff of Writing Assistants is available to work one-to-one with you about your writing—whether it is a budding idea, a finished draft or anything in between.

February's Tip of the Month

Conversation Hearts

Don't combine independent clauses with just a comma! Instead, use one of these alternate techniques: a semicolon, a coordinating conjunction (such as "and"), or a compound verb (two actions affecting a single subject).
