Writing Development Centre

The Writing Development Centre (WDC) provides free writing support to students at City University of Hong Kong. In one-on-one consultations and workshops, our consultants offer feedback and strategies to help you improve at every stage of your writing, from brainstorming to final drafts. We are located in the English Language Centre, 2nd floor of the Academic Building.

Writing Workshops

Sign up for a writing workshop and improve your writing skills! In these writing workshops, you will focus on a particular aspect of writing, and work in small groups to review and develop your draft assignment.

Workshops will begin in week 3 of each semester. To register for a writing workshop, please go to the ELC activities registration page. Reservations are recommended, but walk-in visits are also welcome if space is available.
