Interested in bringing your draft to us for review? We work with you in all stages of the writing process from prewriting and drafting to revision and presentation.
Make an appointment as early in the writing process as you can. Click below to schedule an appointment with us, or read on to learn how if you've never scheduled before.
Before arriving for your appointment, make sure you have the assignment sheet and any other supporting materials such as grading criteria, grading rubric and previous drafts with instructor comments. Our consultants will not edit or proofread your papers for you. Their goal is to teach you to critically think about your paper so that you can become a strong writer. You always remain in control of your writing during the session.
