It's been my experiences tutoring college writers in an array of different subjects that augmented this belief that everyone has something to gain by honing their writing, but sometimes we need someone trustworthy to point out where we have been lapsing. There shouldn't be any question that this skill has to be cultivated to see significant growth, but where does anyone get if...
