Hi, writers!

We’re getting SO close to the end of our Spring 2026 semester (those sunny, summer days are right around the corner). With so many projects, essays, and assignments to do, the Writing Center is an excellent resource to help mitigate your stress and amp up your work. We are open all week, Monday-Thursday from 12-8 pm and Friday from 12-4 pm. Hope to see you around!

It probably comes as no surprise that our tutors love to read and write. But have you ever wondered our tutor’s favorite genre’s of writing are?

• Pierce declared that his favorite genre of writing is fantasy, of course!
• Mandi said that she has two favorite genres of writing, and they are creative writing and fiction.
• Rhia stated that her favorite genre of writing is fiction, in any sort
• Ari replied that they love romance, stating that they will take it all. They like to see characters fall in love even if it is a bit awkward at first.
• Sidney stated that her favorite genre is historical fiction, which makes a lot of sense for a History Education major!
• Cam responded saying that they enjoy both fiction and fantasy. They have a lot to talk about with both Pierce and Rhia!
• Lauren replied with the most genres out of anybody, saying that Romance, Fiction, and mystery/thrillers all all her favorites!

So those are some of our tutor’s favorite genre’s of writing, what are your favorite genres of writing?

Are movies EVER better than the books? Let’s see what our tutors think…

33% of our tutors who responded say…YES!

33% of our tutors say…sometimes?

And only 33% of our tutors say…NO!

Let’s hear their arguments…

• Pierce was one of our sometimes people; it all depends on whether you read the book first (which makes the movie worse) or if you watch the movie first (which makes the book worse).
• Mandi is one of our NO believers…she gave credit to some being better but most of the time, they’re not.
• Rhia says YES, and she even acknowledged that English majors keep that a secret from you all!
• Ari says it all depends…especially when the original book has the right idea with ZERO execution.
• Cam says MOST of the time they’re not…but they make some exceptions…what are those exceptions, Cam?
• Finally, Lauren confidently says yes, and she believes the people who say no are lying to themselves.

Our tutors are torn, but do you believe movies are better than the books? Which ones are?
