Welcome

The Farnham Writers’ Center works with students, faculty, staff, and local schools on all aspects of writing.  We seek to further a culture of writing at Colby and in the community through peer tutoring, faculty support, and special writing events.  As a writing resource, we provide information on good writing practices and guidance on grammar and documentation to the Colby community and online visitors. Please browse our site to discover everything we have to offer.  For a tutoring session, click on “Appointment.”  Happy Writing!

Documentation lets readers locate writers’ sources. The four main academic documentation styles, MLA, APA, CSE, Chicago, serve different fields but all are cross-referencing systems of in-text citations and bibliographic information. Click below for information on these styles. “OWL” links to the Online Writing Lab at Purdue University; “Diana Hacker” links to composition sites for her writing guides; “Chicago” links to its online style guide.
