My time as a writing fellow has taken the anxiety out of writing papers. …From reading many other students' papers, I have learned the art of writing for [an] audience and creating clear, direct prose. I feel extremely comfortable with my own ability to figure out what I want to say and how I want to say it.” (Shannon Fales’07)

Become a writing fellow!
The College Writing Fellows are undergraduate peer tutors who provide critical feedback on writing during every stage of the writing process, from brainstorming to revision.
To apply to become a fellow, fill out the application and submit it to the College Writing Program office, Rush Rhees G-121 (to qualify, applicants should have a GPA of at least 3.0, be in good standing and have fulfilled their Primary Writing Requirement).
After the initial review, the strongest candidates will be invited for a personal interview with a current writing fellow and a group interview with the director/assistant director of the College Writing Program and a few of our current writing fellows.
Selected candidates will take a semester-long course, WRT245/ENG285: Advanced Writing and Peer-Tutoring, that prepares them for tutoring.
Many of our current and former fellows found the experience of being a writing fellow not only very rewarding, but also beneficial for their college and post-college careers.
