The Writing Institute

The Writing Institute at Antioch College is an innovative hub for multimodal composition and inspired practice of the writing craft. Faculty, Writing Fellows, and Peer Tutors provide focused support and mentorship through individual meetings with students writing in any genre or disciplinary convention across the Antioch curriculum. The Writing Institute also offers drop-in consulting for quick feedback on works-in-progress, resources for overcoming writer’s block, and online live-editing sessions.

The Writing Institute works to help scaffold writing skills across the curriculum, and offers printed resources and workshops that support writing projects common to the Antioch experience, including the Life Aims Paper, the self-design major Statement of Inquiry, Senior theses, and the Senior Reflection Paper—as well as technical writing support for the co-op resume, cover letter, and digital portfolio. Writing mentorship includes faculty consultations, peer tutoring, the Alumni Writers Program, student-led writing groups, and faculty-led write-ins. The Writing Institute and program at Antioch College also fosters opportunities in multimodal composition and the Digital Liberal Arts, creative nonfiction, reportage, literary journalism, writing immersions, public readings, Writers-in-Residence, and community outreach.
