Welcome to the Ford School Writing Center

The Ford School believes the cultivation of sound writing skills to be an essential component of a public policy education.  Year after year, our alumni confirm that writing is one of the most essential skills that they developed at Ford.  No matter how much you know about a given policy problem, it does neither your colleagues nor your clients much good if you cannot articulate that knowledge in writing that is logical and concise.

To assist in the cultivation of sound writing skills, the Ford School Writing Center offers two essential services:  individual tutorials and policy writing modules.  For more information about tutorials, click here.  For more information on policy writing modules, click here.

Whatever your interest in writing or your writing needs, we look forward to working with you in the coming academic year.  Please don’t hesitate to contact us with questions, in person, by phone, or email.

To sign up for an individual tutorial or policy writing module, click here.  Register by creating a log-in and password.
