The GW Writing Center consultants offer expertise on a variety of formats and projects. Learn more about the types of content you can bring to appointments. See the bottom of our Appointments page for our Hours of Operation.
Consultants are trained to work with writers on papers, research reports, essays, poems, literature reviews, conference papers, grant proposals, speeches and more. They are well versed in APA, Chicago and MLA styles. Appointments are free to members of the GW community.
Our approach is based on creating a dialogue between writer and consultant. This method is well suited to cover letters and personal statements, but we do not provide feedback on résumés or CVs. Visit the GW Center for Career Services for support with these documents.
Students who need help with group projects are welcome to visit the center, but all contributing writers must be present at the appointment. We cannot discuss the particulars of a person’s writing without the student present. Alternatively, we can work with individuals as long as we focus on their portion of the writing only.
The Center can assist with take-home essays assigned as midterms or final exams, as long as we have received an email from the professor allowing students to make appointments. Professors should email [email protected] with the course name and either a specific student’s name or blanket permission for all students.
