This fall the GW Writing Center won’t have a satellite location in Himmelfarb Library, but you can still access their services at the Writing Center in Gelman Library (Suite 221 in the Learning Commons) or make a virtual appointment. Appointments will be available starting next Monday, September 12th.
The Writing Center can provide assistance with a variety of writing needs including research reports, speeches, group project reports, cover letters and CVs, and even written take-home exams if the professor permits. Services are provided by student consultants. Consultants who specialize in public health and STEM writing, or have expertise in APA citation style, can be found here.
Before you schedule an appointment, you’ll need to create a free account. Some appointment preparation is encouraged to make sure you get the most out of your consulting session. If you have questions you can reach the Writing Center staff at gwriter@gwu.edu or call them at 202-994-3765.
Himmelfarb Library can help you with bibliography formatting and citation style. We have Research Guides on APA and AMA citation style format with all the information you need in one place, including example citations for all material formats. We can also assist you with the use of RefWorks and other citation managers. You can always reach out to our reference librarians via Chat or by emailing himmelfarb@gwu.edu for direct assistance if required.
