Individual consultations. The center’s primary mission is to provide a place for writers to talk with writers about their writing projects. Consultations with a trained writing consultant last 25 or 50 minutes. During that time, the consultant will answer questions, provide feedback, and coach you through any stage of your writing process from brainstorming to final editing. A writing consultant can assist you in any of the following areas:
deciding on a topic
generating ideas
focusing your ideas
enhancing your writing style
handling technical details of grammar, documentation, and format
understanding different forms of writing
becoming a more confident writer.
Consultations for graduate students. Since graduate-level essays are often lengthy, you may reserve an hour-long appointment instead of the standard half hour. You may wish to work with our Graduate Consultant, Kathy Radosta. Kathy works Tuesday and Thursday mornings; to schedule an appointment, call the Writing Center at 554-2946.
Library satellite. A Writing Center consultant is available for limited hours at the UNO Library. Because we do not schedule appointments for the satellite location, we ask that you use this service for quick questions and limit your session to 15-20 minutes if other students are waiting.
Workshops. Center consultants offer a variety of workshops on topics of interest to the university’s writing community. Presented at our central location in ASH 150 or in the classroom, presentation topics range from pre-writing strategies to documentation styles.
