The International Writing Centers Association maintains a comprehensive, alphabetical list of OWLs. The list also includes a breakdown of OWLs which offer original online handouts (as opposed to links to handouts at other sites) and a list of OWLs who offer online tutoring.
We have chosen to highlight the following OWLs because they have useful documents for our students and faculty. Only documents original to the site are included. In the case of handouts, we have listed many of the most helpful. If you'd like to see your OWL listed here, let us know.
