Writing Center

We're Here To Help!

Manna University’s Writing Center offers online resources and individualized help with writing.

We'll review your work!

Any student who would like us to review a draft of their paper/project can submit it through the link below at least 4 days before the assignment’s due date.

If your paper is due on a Sunday night, we would need to receive your draft by the previous Wednesday night.

Please note: our Writing Center tutors will review a draft of your paper and reply with guidance and tips on how to improve that project. They will offer coaching to help you optimize your work but will not conduct research or writing for you.
