“I am so glad that this revision process was a collaborative one. The feedback from my classmates and members of Writers Guild helped clarify and amplify the poem without losing its meaning or tone. I am thankful for a community of writers who prioritize good work and collaboration.”
“Isabel provided feedback that helped me weave a simple metaphor at the start of my story into the rest of it. This was the first creative piece that I sent to the Writing Center, and I think I will start to send more creative work to the tutors.”
“I often share my writing and get feedback that helps me maximize clarity. Sharing my poems with the DePaul Writing Center allows me to improve their clarity in imagery and organization.”

“Over the months that I’ve been working on these poems (and about a decade before that), Writers Guild has provided consistent community and support. When I came to DePaul as a returning student in 2008, I found Writers Guild and the UCWbL and discovered more writing community and opportunities for collaboration than I would have ever believed possible.”

“I wrote all of these pieces on my own volition, inspired by the people within my life. Typically, I get all my thoughts down through word vomiting on the paper, then spend the majority of my writing process revising. All of these writings have benefited from the perspectives of others, allowing me to get to a place where I am proud of my works.”
“In my own experience, I’ve had editors who trample on writers’ ideas and voices, but the advisors that I worked with at the Writing Center were more than respectful and encouraging.”
“My process for writing and revision varies based on the type of writing I’m working on. For fiction, I find it easier to interpolate various drafts and sections as I start to get a better idea of the shape of the story I’m writing.”
“The revision process took some time, incorporating the feedback that I got from Writers Guild and the Writing Center to improve my piece. A lot of work revolved around rearranging sentences, changing the structure of the poem a bit, and writing new content. Overall, I really enjoyed the revision process and I am excited to publish my pieces.”
