GW Writing Center
A division of the University Writing Program
The GW Writing Center offers free, peer-based support to students and faculty from across the university. Clients participate in one-on-one sessions with student consultants on their projects at all stages of the writing process. Our conversation-based approach helps clients strengthen their abilities as writers and become stronger editors of their own work.
The center welcomes undergraduate and graduate students at all levels, from all schools, as well as faculty seeking feedback on assignments and their own writing projects.
Virtual Cafés are ENDING for Spring 2021 on Friday, April 23rd!
Need motivation on your final semester projects? Join a café and write in the virtual company of others - same time every week!

"Through revising my writing with the consultants, I could effectively and efficiently practice my speaking, listening, writing and reading skills at the same time. I gained lots of confidence and a sense of achievement. Now, I love writing because it shapes precisely how I express myself."
