A writing center usually offers individualized conferencing whereby the writing tutor offers his or her feedback on the piece of writing at hand; a writing tutor's main function is to discuss how the piece of writing might be revised for clarity and grammatical correctness. However, the tutor usually does not proofread nor edit the student's work. Instead, the tutor facilitates the student's attempts to revise his or her own work by conversing with the student about the topic at hand or about the writing process (i. e., the methodical ways that writers can use to produce a piece of writing) and/or reviewing compositional and grammatical principles. A recent movement in writing centers has been to provide services for the non-academic community. Such services include one-to-one response for out-of-school writers and workshops on a wide variety of topics. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
