ClassicsWrites was developed by Sarah Eisen (Pedagogy Fellow in Classics, 2021–22) and Steve Shennan (Writing Fellow in Classics, 2021–22) as a resource for undergraduates students and TFs working in writing focused courses offered by the department, especially the sophomore and junior tutorials, and the senior thesis.

ClassicsWrites demystifies the process of performing academic research and writing in the field of Classics, and covers topics including how to write a good thesis statement, how to write about artifacts, and how to do a close reading. ClassicsWrites also guides students on their research process, including how to pick appropriate sources, and how to cite ancient sources. It was turned into a website by Sarah Eisen (Media and Design Fellow in Classics, 2022–23) with the hopes of becoming more accessible to a larger number of people, and for overall longevity.
