Art of Writing cultivates and supports the craft of writing at UC Berkeley.
Our seminars, workshops, tutoring programs, and events build a collaborative writing community across the disciplines, and approach writing as a teachable art.
Student Writing Tutors and Fellows share the rewards of working with fellow students. Says Ava Ratcliff, "the biggest thing you can bring [to tutoring] is intellectual humility — knowing you can improve your own ideas while helping others improve theirs.”
Ramona Naddaff, associate professor of Rhetoric and founding director of the Art of Writing program since 2015, has been awarded the Daniel E. Koshland, Jr. Distinguished Chair in Writing in recognition of her immense contributions to the teaching of writing on the Berkeley campus.
Art of Writing has recently been awarded a Reimagining Higher Education (RHE) Grant to expand its established Writing Fellows program into social science and STEM courses across campus. Fellows provide students with in-class discipline-specific support and one-on-ones.
