Questions?

The Write Place Online Writing Center is an online extension of The LCCC Writing Center. The Write Place allows you to submit writing assignments via email for review. Our faculty reviewers will then provide personal assistance to help writing efficiency and overall writing abilities. The reviewer will respond within 48 hrs (depending on the length of the assignment) and meet with you, if necessary.

It is strongly recommended that you follow the instructions when submitting your paper. We welcome the opportunity to offer this free service to you, but the criteria must be met and the directions must be followed in order to get an action from our team.
