The Writing Process

At the Loyola Writing Center, we understand writing as a process of pre-writing, research, drafting, revising, and editing. While we recognize that all writers engage in their own unique processes, we've designed printable handouts that can be applied to the general stages of the writing process, and helpful to writers at varying skill levels.
