WHEN: We are open regularly during the hours listed above - you can book an appointment on this page or drop in whenever we are open. We usually have drop-in availability, but you may need an appointment during our busiest weeks leading up to midterms and finals. Please note that the Writing Center operates only during Fall and Spring semesters. We are closed during the first week of classes, finals week, and all college holidays.
WHERE: The first floor of the Sandor Teszler Library. Look for the colorful doodles on the glass fishbowl!
HOW: You will work one-on-one with a trained peer consultant who will talk through your ideas with you at any stage of the process. The Writing Center holds virtual and in-person sessions of up to 45 minutes. Because a visit with the Writing Center can only help you move forward one step at a time, writers should expect to have no more than one 45-minute session per day and should not expect their work to be finished when they leave. If you would like to work with us throughout your writing process, please plan to start drafting early and meet with us multiple times over a number of days.
WHO: Our staff are trained peer writers from majors all across the college. Peer consultants bring writing expertise that will benefit you no matter what class you're taking, but you can also learn more about individual consultants' majors and interests below.
MEET THE CONSULTANTS!
Emma Estridge - Year: Junior; Major: English; Minor: International Affairs.
Hi! My name is Emma Estridge, and as an English major, I write a lot of literary analysis papers, poetry explications, and close readings that incorporate literary criticism. In addition to academic writing, I enjoy creative writing, especially fiction. My writing experience includes having my fiction published in literary journals. After I graduate, I plan to pursue an M.F.A. In Creative Writing.
Miles Goodale - Year: Senior; Major: Environmental Studies; Minor: Film and Digital Media
Hey! I’m Miles (he/him/his). As a neurodivergent person, I understand that our brains work differently than neurotypicals, and I would love to help you find ways to accommodate yourself in the writing process! I have experience in lab reports, film analysis, close readings, MLA, and creative writing. Although I have personal experience with those types of writing, I have consulted on economics, government, philosophy, and history papers. I can't wait to work with you!
Amelia List - Year: Junior; Majors: Psychology, English; Medicine and the Liberal Arts concentration
Hey! As a psychology and English double major, I have experience in both MLA and APA writing styles. I write a lot of literary analyses, research papers, and case studies. Outside of academic writing, I love creative writing, especially poetry. A dream of mine would be to have my own published poetry collection! I’m looking forward to working with you!
Katie Stewart - Year: Senior; Majors: Environmental Studies and Psychology
Hi there! I have a lot of experience writing lab reports in both MLA and APA formats and crafting in-depth analyses. If you're ever stuck in your close reading assignments, I’m here to help! My ultimate goal is to help people, which is why I plan to pursue graduate school in clinical neuropsychology after Wofford. Don’t let that long title intimidate you—I strive to keep our sessions as relaxed and stress-free as possible. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, watching movies and shows, practicing yoga, and gardening. I look forward to working with you!
Lena Strauss - Year: Senior; Major: English; Minor: Studio Art
Hey everyone! I have lots of experience writing analysis, research, and close reading essays. In addition, I love helping people with their creative thinking process, and I want everyone to leave a session with me feeling more confident about their writing! Even though I am an English major, I love hearing about any and all assignments from other disciplines! Hopefully, I'll see you in the Writing Center soon!
Ava Stricklen - Year: Sophomore; Major: Biology
Hello! I am Ava Stricklen, a Bio (pre-vet track) major, but my “expertise” doesn’t end there. I love all the arts: written, visual, music, tactile, fashion… you name it, I aesthetically appreciate an aspect of it. I LOVE animals, fantasy, philosophy, movies (particularly monster, horror, and rom-coms), and Batman. I have an absurd amount of hobbies, if you name something I’ve probably tried my hand at it, or looked into trying my hand at it. I’m your gal if you want to do anything from brainstorming ideas for your poetry writing assignment to reviewing your lab report… I love it all. Please stop by anytime!
Josie Thillet - Year: Senior; Majors: Theatre and English
Hi! I'm Josie, I'm experienced in a variety of literary analysis forms, including research papers, lit reviews, close readings, and personal responses, and I particularly enjoy explications, especially of poetry. When I leave Wofford, I plan to get a graduate degree then go into publishing, and outside of Wofford, I love dancing, dogs, crafting, and any fun fall activity.
Sophie Thrasher - Year: Senior; Majors: Spanish and English
I'm in my senior year at Wofford and my third year as a writing center consultant. I hope to work in marketing and content writing for businesses. As a student/consultant, I'm most experienced in close reading essays, analysis of texts, creative writing, and prompt unraveling. Come to me with grammar and MLA questions!
Jack Tope - Year: Senior; Majors: Theatre and Government
Hey! I have had a lot of experience writing analytical essays and have a lot of fun interpreting creative works, especially plays. I love to read any pieces of writing that are relating to stories and what personal impacts they have. But mainly I am just excited to read anytime someone seems really excited about their topic. Aside from writing I enjoy doing theatre and photography, and I keep up with Atlanta sports! After graduating, I plan on going into acting in theatre in the southeast.
Anne Varnado - Year: Junior; Majors: Environmental Studies and English (concentration in Creative Writing); Minor: French and Francophone Studies.
Hi! I have a good deal of experience with writing literary analysis essays, research papers, and just about any form of creative writing -- prose, poetry, you name it! Outside of classes, I love reading, playing video games, watching the same three TV shows over and over, and I occasionally dabble in cross-stitching. After Wofford, I hope to pursue a career in law
Alexis Walker - Year: Senior; Majors: Spanish and Business Economics; Minor: Philosophy
Evie Whitesell - Year: Junior: Major: Sociology and Anthropology; Minor: English; Concentration: Gender Studies
Hello! My name is Evie Whitesell, and I use she/her(s) pronouns. I am a Sociology and Anthropology major with a concentration in Gender Studies and an English minor. My writing experience includes the traditional English essay, research papers, and journalism. Outside of school, I love playing pickleball and traveling.
