Welcome to the AUSB Writing Center AUSB WCenter logo

The Antioch University Santa Barbara (AUSB) Writing Center provides free writing support, through one-on-one sessions with peer tutors. Talk to a tutor about your writing at any stage, including brainstorming! In the Writing Center, you’ll find no judgment, no grades, no shame — just positive encouragement and helpful support. The Writing Center is not an editing service, but is here to teach you strategies that will help you grow as a writer and develop your writing repertoire (skills, habits, and techniques) over time.

Visits are free and open to current AUSB students. The Writing Center is currently only offering remote sessions via Zoom. We offer scheduled appointments (60 or 90 minutes each), including same-day appointments as time permits.
