Writing Centers are physical and/or virtual spaces, often affiliated with schools, colleges and universities, where writers working on any communication task can receive informed, professional feedback on their writing by working with another person (peer, teacher, graduate student, professional writer), typically in twenty minute to one hour sessions.
