Learning Center
Writing Support
At LBCC's Writing Center, our goal is to help students become more confident, effective, and expressive writers – and to make the writing process more joyful. We offer coaching for all students for any writing project, in any class, and at any stage in the writing process.
Join us for a drop-in session during available times, schedule a Zoom appointment,
or submit to the Online Writing Lab (OWL) to receive written feedback within 48-72 business hours.

Make a Zoom Appointment
Our appointments are 30-45 minutes long and guarantee that you will have one-on-one time with a Writing Assistant. During the session, you can share your documents over Zoom, talk through ideas, ask questions, and receive feedback on your writing.
We have two active clubs at LBCC devoted to writing topics, Poetry Club and Creative
Writing Club.
To learn more about Poetry Club, please visit the Poetry Club web page here.
Creative Writing Club is a space for students to discuss all things related to fiction and nonfiction writing.

About Us
The Writing Center is a place for all students to get free assistance with their writing. Our goal is to coach you through the writing process, help you to strengthen your writing, and give you the steps to become your own best editor. We do this primarily by talking to you in a one-on-one session or by sending you written feedback. When we meet with you, we want to know what your writing goals are, and together, we will determine the next steps for our time .
Our mission is to help you navigate the complicated landscape of academic writing. We cannot guarantee an error-free paper or that you will receive a perfect grade after working with us; however, we can guarantee that we will stay present, listen with respect, and respond with compassion while working with you.
Our Writing Assistants are successful student writers who have been trained to provide writing feedback. By offering you individualized writing support, we can help you to identify what is already working well in your writing, as well as what needs more attention. As you practice new skills and refine your writing process, we are here to be your cheerleaders, guides, and allies.
