Announcements

The Writing Center will close Nov. 25-29 for Thanksgiving. We will close for the semester on Dec. 9 and reopen in January.

Welcome

WELCOME TO THE WRITING CENTER
The Georgetown University Writing Center is a free writing resource open to all Georgetown students. Graduate and undergraduate students trained in teaching writing are available to assist you at any stage of your writing process. Whether you are just beginning to brainstorm or revising a later stage of your work, our goal is to provide a collaborative center for the discussion of writing.

The Writing Center offers assistance in topic development, general organization, guidance on paper revisions, and specific or recurring structural problems with writing. Consultants are not trained to proofread papers for grammar or spelling errors, but rather to help individuals improve their own critical thinking, revision, and editing skills.

We hope that you will take the time to explore our website and visit us in Lauinger Library 217A.

 

Please note the following updated Writing Center policies:

While clients may schedule sessions up to an hour in length, we reserve the right to limit appointments to 30 minutes if other Clients are waiting.

While the Writing Center guarantees you an appointment at your chosen time, we reserve the right to change your assigned tutor.

Clients who are more than ten minuets late for an appointment may forfeit their appointment if other clients are waiting for a session.
