​Graduate Write-Ins

The Writing Center offers a weekly “write-in” for graduate students. A write-in is a relaxed, informal, supportive space for writers to work on whatever project or assignment they feel the need to make progress on. These write-ins give graduate students access to both Writing Center tutors and Graduate Research staff for support on matters writing-related, research-related, and process-related.​​
  • Thursdays 5-7pm:  Join Dom Marconi, Graduate Tutor, in the Writing Center for a relaxed writing session, featuring Writing Center tutor feedback on any stage of any assignment; feedback will be concerned with whatever you feel is most pressing, whether that be professionalism, style, credibility, grammar, or anything else. This write-in can be attended by any graduate student, but is best for non-thesis-track graduate students.
Featured Writing Center Staff - Dom Marconi

​Hi Guys! I’m Dom and I’m a Masters of Writing student and I am working at the Rowan Writing Center for what is now my fifth year. I enjoy helping tutees with anything and everything and I especially love getting to learn new things through my tutees’ papers⁠—the stranger the better! My specialty is creative writing, particularly poetry and fiction. At Rowan, I’ve taken Creative Writing 1+2, Writing Fiction, Writing Poetry, Screenwriting 1+2, and Fundamentals of Playwriting as well as The Writer’s Mind and Writing, Research + Technology.  I also teach First-Year Writing. 

​Drop-Off Service

The Writing Center offers a drop-off service for longer pieces of graduate student writing. After uploading your document, your work will be assigned to a Graduate Tutor. Your tutor will read your uploaded document, keeping in mind any special areas of concern you have indicated, and will respond as a reader. This feedback will be sent to you in a client report from through the automated system. There is a 25-page limit to the documents uploaded to the drop-off service; if you intend to send a document that is longer than 25 pages, please know that your assigned tutor will only work on 25 pages per drop-off. If you so choose, you may schedule an appointment with your tutor, to discuss your feedback after your tutor has returned it to you.

To access this service, please visit https://rowan.mywconline.com/ and be sure to indicate your standing as a Graduate student in the form you complete as you make your appointment.

A Note On Tutor Availability

There are a limited number of tutors who are assigned read-ahead work, and a limited amount of time allotted for read-ahead preparation and consultations. This service is first-come, first-served, and time slots are scheduled as they are requested. If the service becomes particularly busy, your feedback might be sent to you a few weeks after you initially upload your document here. If you intend to ask for a read-ahead appointment, please do so early.
