e-mail your essay

If you are unable to come into The Writing Center, send essays via e-mail. A writing consultant will go over your paper. We will respond to e-mail questions and papers attached to email during our office hours.

We recommend an in-person, one-on-one consultation if you have extensive questions or a long paper.

We help students who e-mail their papers by making general suggestions and by sending links and handouts. E-mail assistance consists of a quick overview, but we will address specific concerns and questions if they are included in the e-mail. If you need a more in-depth consultation, please visit us during office hours in KV208 or the Library. Remember to send your paper well ahead of your due date.
