The Harvard Writing Project sponsors a wide range of writing guides that encourage better writing by giving students practical advice and useful examples. The development of some guides has been underwritten by Faculty Grants on Writing Pedagogy. There are four principal types of writing guides:
- writing guides for disciplines or interdisciplinary programs
- writing guides for specific courses
- writing guides for specific genres of writing, such as senior theses
- writing guides for General Education courses
The writing guides may be viewed online or downloaded as PDF files. Some of the guides are also available in print form. Persons wishing to receive a print version of any of the writing guides should contact James Herron at jherron@fas.harvard.edu.
