We are thrilled to announce that a representative from the GW Writing Center will be providing in-person consultations at the Himmelfarb Library this semester! 

A Writing Center consultant will be onsite every Tuesday from 4 pm - 6 pm, beginning October 10th. They can help you with a variety of writing assignments from research reports to cover letters to CVs.

The Writing Center service will be located adjacent to the first-floor Circulation Desk, in the alcove near the emergency exit. The service is free.

Walk-ups are welcome if there is availability, but appointments are recommended. To make an appointment, visit the Writing Center website.

If you are a first-timer, you'll see a link on the page that lets you register for an account. If you are an online student, or would simply prefer a remote consultation, you'll see an option to request a virtual consultation (appointments are available from 9am to 9pm, Monday through Friday, and 5pm to 10pm on Sundays).

In the meantime, check out the Writing Center's resource collection, including tips on citations, grammar, and quality research.
