Building a Workplace Writing Center: A Sustainable Solution and Practical Guide

This practical resource provides guidance for writing professionals  to sustainably tackle the organizational writing challenges of any  professional environment.

Rooted in applied experience, Building a  Workplace Writing Center guides readers through the process of  developing a writing center, from assessing the needs of an organization  and pitching the idea of a writing center, to developing a service  model and measuring progress. Chapters explore what a writing center can  offer, such as one-on-one writing consultations, tailored group  workshops, and standardized writing guidance and resources. Although  establishing a writing center requires time and a shift in culture up  front, it is a rewarding process that produces measurably improved  writing, less frustration with the writing and revision processes, and  more confident, independent writers.

This guide is an invaluable  resource for professionals across industries and academia considering  how to establish an embedded, sustainable, and cost-effective workplace  writing center. It will be of particular interest to business and human  resource managers considering how best to improve writing skills within  their organizations.
