What We Do
Writing Center Mission:
The Walden University Writing Center is dedicated to helping students become better writers. Recognizing the importance of the written word in effecting social change, we work to provide scholar-practitioners with the tools to transform themselves and society by becoming more effective communicators. We contribute to Walden’s thriving academic community by working one on one with students online and at the university’s academic residencies. We offer Walden students advice on organization, grammar, format, and APA style, and we answer students’ questions concerning the writing process and its outcomes so that they can best contribute to ongoing scholarly dialogues within each of the university’s schools and the broader academic community.

Editors
The Walden dissertation editors work with students during the drafting stage of their dissertation or doctoral study manuscript; we help guide them through the finer points of APA style, manuscript format, and organizing and presenting the material in a way that is clear, concise, and scholarly. Unlike most universities, whether on line or land based, Walden offers editorial assistance to students as they are developing their dissertation drafts.
![Page 30: Welcome to the Writing Center With Martha King, Senior Dissertation Editor Amy Kubista, Writing Specialist Winter Session EdD Residency Dallas, January.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649f275503460f94c3e563/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Editors
To make the most of our editorial services, students at the dissertation drafting stage should have command over the basic elements of academic writing, including an understanding of grammar and organization. It is the responsibility of the student to develop these writing skills prior to beginning the dissertation. Opportunities for improving writing skills are available to Walden students through the graduate writing courses. Other options for students in the initial stages of the drafting process include creating or joining a peer-review group, participating in online discussion board through eCampus, attending one of the webinars offered by the Writing Center, or hiring an editor.
![Page 31: Welcome to the Writing Center With Martha King, Senior Dissertation Editor Amy Kubista, Writing Specialist Winter Session EdD Residency Dallas, January.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649f275503460f94c3e563/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Because the editor policies, as described in the WIRE Student Guide, specify that we will review one chapter per reservation and one revision of that chapter, students are advised to submit a chapter draft that is as complete as possible. We encourage students working on very early drafts to consult with their committee chair to ensure that all content elements are in place before working with an editor. Once content is in place, editors can then work to help students refine the draft to improve cohesion and flow, voice and grammar, and APA style, and make sure the draft complies with formatting guidelines.
