Pierson College Writing Tutor, Professor Margaret Spillane

Need assistance with research papers, long and short essays, project proposals, journalism, internship queries, cover letters, and funding requests?  And then there are the many varieties of applications–for grants and fellowships, for law, medical and graduate school.  Pierson College Writing Tutor Professor Margaret Spillane will be happy to talk with you about strategies for making your writing stronger, leaner, more vivid and persuasive. She will work with you the way writers work throughout their professional lives–not just correcting each others’ commas, but looking for ways to find the strong ideas in the writing and make them stronger.

Professor Spillane has an office in the PC basement–Room 047, just at the bottom of Entryway E.
