If you need academic writing assistance, get in touch with the SMFA Writing Studio. They can provide anything from an in-depth consultation on how to structure your ideas to a quick grammatical edit.
Writing Studio hours are split between the private Mission Hill Building Writing Studio and the SMFA Library. To view their open hours or make an appointment, visit the SMFA Writing Studio homepage.
Whenever you use an outside resource in your work-- whether you are quoting, referring, or appropriating-- you must give credit. You should cite all books, articles, websites, images, etc. that inform your work, just as you would want others to give credit to what you create. Properly formatted citations in an accepted style (MLA, Chicago, etc.) are essential to maintaining artistic and scholarly conversations.
