Whether in "live" tutorials or by e-mail, we can help you understand what's not working your paragraphs and why, but we are NOT a “fix-it shop” or a proofreading or editing service. We do not claim to improve anyone’s grades. In fact, our focus is not even your paper, even though we certainly work through drafts with you. Our goal is to help you become a better writer.

We encourage
students to visit us well before assignments are due
so that we can see multiple drafts of a document in
process. During the college years, this practice of
revision can improve the writer's performance on
academic assignments.
We have a few computers for students to draft and revise
their work, but our main strength lies in the
immediate feedback we provide. Writing Consultants
work personally with clients at any stage of the
writing process, from brainstorming a topic to grammar
revision, including any steps in between such as
research. Typically we look at writing samples on a
paragraph-by-paragraph basis to identify problem
areas. We then direct clients to resources in print or
online that can assist them further on sentence style,
formatting, or grammar.
