Introducing WriteCast, the First Writing Center Podcast

headphones
The Writing Center is excited to launch our first audio podcast, hosted by writing instructors Nik and Brittany. This podcast is dedicated to all things related to scholarly writing (for general information about podcasts, visit Apple’s FAQs: For Podcast Fans page.) Whether you're a brand-new Walden student or in the final stages of your dissertation, we hope you'll join us on our podcasting adventure! We’re subtitling the podcast “A Casual Conversation for Serious Writers” because we hope that the podcast will be fun but also valuable in helping you develop your skills for academic, professional, and personal writing.

During this pilot period in June and July, we'll publish four additional episodes, airing a new episode every other week. Then, we'll launch a short feedback survey to hear your thoughts on the podcast and help us determine its future. We’re excited about this new writing resource, and we hope you are, too! Click the widget below to stream, download, and share our first episode: The WritingProcess. You can also view a transcript of the episode here. Keep an eye on our blog, our Facebook page, and our Twitter feed for more new episodes, transcripts, and our survey.


No iPod? No worries—you don't need an iPod or an MP3 player to experience the podcast. Our new Podcast page hosts our episode archive and explains several ways to listen. To download the episode to your computer, press the share button on the player above, then press the download button. Visit the Writing Center's WriteCast page for our episode archive and transcripts. Happy listening!
The podcast pilot is made possible by a Social Media Research Grant from Global Products and Services, Laureate Education, Inc.

    I am a linear writer.

    Many of us are, Synthia! The writing process is recursive, but it's still important for both linear and nonlinear writers. Even for those writers who like to write from the beginning to the end, going back and revising is a key step in developing your draft (and your writing skills!). Do you find using an outline helpful?

    Thank you for the writing tips on the writing process and revision as a stage in that process. I also use a blank screen in Word and use that to begin my brainstorming and draft my ideas.
