One-on-One Writing Consultation

Beginning March 4, 2013

One-on-one writing consultations are now available for enrolled University of Maryland, College Park graduate students. Consultations are available year-round (with a break for the Winter holidays).

Writing Fellows, as a service to the Graduate School, provide one-on-one writing consultation for graduate students.  Fellows work with graduate students within their colleges on structure, argument, disciplinary expectations, citation, voice, syntax, and, as appropriate, usage and grammar.

Writing Fellows are a select, trained group of graduate students who are outstanding in their fields, who write eloquently, and who work well with their peers.

Writing Fellows do not edit, but rather work collaboratively with students on their writing.

To Request a Writing Consultation:

Email the Coordinator of Writing Fellows at gradwritingfellows@umd.edu with the following information.

    1. Full Name
    2. UID
    3. Department and College
    4. Writing assignment (i.e., dissertation chapter, prospectus, article, seminar paper, grant proposal, etc.)
        and length (double-spaced).

If your writing assignment is more than 10 pages (double-spaced) please attach it to your email as a Word document. Please send no more than 35 pages (double-spaced) at a time.

The Coordinator will then direct a Writing Fellow to contact you and to set up a mutually agreeable time and place to meet.

Consultations typically are an hour in length.
