From ledes to nut grafs to AP style, journalism writing can sometimes feel like a foreign language. But our journalism coaches are fluent, and we have experience taking J school classes and working for media publications. We’re here to help you brainstorm pitches, come up with interview questions, write a lede or revise a draft, and we offer support at any stage of the writing process. Book an appointment with our team, or check out our helpful resource section. You’ll be versed in the language of journalism in no time.

Appointments are in DMC 3.322 (center of the third floor near the journalism grad student desks). Zoom appointments are available by request.
