Welcome to the George and Leslie Hume Writing Center, a resource dedicated to helping Stanford writers develop rich and varied abilities in all aspects of writing and communication.

The Hume Writing Center offers individual meetings with trained writing consultants; workshops on a variety of important topics related to writing; Writers' Nights featuring students, staff, and faculty reading and performing their work; the How I Write interview series; and many other special writing events. The Center sponsors the work of many student writing groups, including the Stanford Spoken Word Collective, and participates in outreach to public schools in our area. We are fully engaged in fostering a culture of writing on our campus and in our community.

Open since 2001, the Center is named for generous donors George and Leslie Hume. We are proud to acknowlege their crucial role in helping to make our work possible.

Please explore this website for information about tutoring, workshops, and special writing events sponsored by the Center.
