Q. What kind of writing help can I get?

Writing tutors can:

• Help you plan and focus your paper
• Suggest ways of clarifying thesis statements and arguments
• Suggest ways of strengthening conclusions
• Point out repeated grammatical, mechanical and punctuation errors
• Provide guidance with documentation
• Provide references to textbooks and electronic sources

Tutors do not provide editing or proofreading services. HACC students may receive written feedback via email from a HACC Professional Writing Tutor by submitting writings (journal entries, essays, papers, speeches, etc.) through the HACC Online Writing Lab (HOWL). Students also have the opportunity to follow up with a HOWL tutor in a Zoom session to discuss their feedback by appointment.
