Welcome to UW Writing!

On this site we centralize information and resources about writing across UW’s campuses. Whether you are an incoming student looking for a Composition or Additional Writing course, or an instructor who wants to teach (with) writing, there is information here for you. 

Because of its foundational importance at all levels of learning and professional practice, we want to make it easier for everyone at UW to connect with resources that support their writing.
