The Bender Writing Center at Albany Academy

"The scariest moment is always just before you start."

- Stephen King

Who We Are

The Bender Writing Center at Albany Academy is a student-led space where all writers can be heard and be helped. All members of the Center's staff are trained to offer assistance beyond grammar checks and encouragement (though we're pretty great at both). Here, we treat every client like an author who is trying to express themselves clearly, effectively, and authentically.

Our Mission

To help improve writers, whoever they are, regardless of ability or background
To help all students become confident communicators and thoughtful authors
To create a space of mutual respect, professional standards, and inclusive support
