Write Right is a podcast about becoming great at writing and communication.
Write Right is a production of the Texas A&M University Writing Center, a service of the Department of Undergraduate Studies.
The UWC is dedicated to helping students become better communicators through whichever medium they are working in. Open to all Texas A&M students, the writing center offers both face-to-face and online consultations. Make an appointment at http://writingcenter.tamu.edu.
The University Writing Center hosted a podcast entitled "In a Word" on our local public radio station, KAMU-FM. It aired from 2014-16 and provided short tips on writing and speaking.
The podcast was originally conceived and recorded by writing center consultant Mary Beth Schaefer. Later, Candace Hastings, then director of the University Writing Center, took over recording duties with the content being produced by members of the UWC staff, under the editorial direction of Nancy Vazquez and Dr. Valerie Balester.
Episodes have included writing memos, cover letters, and thank you letters, designing slides, dealing with writer's block, and writing effective introductions, just to name a few.
