Locations and Hours

The Writing Center offers various services for the UNO writing community.

Individual Consultations

The center’s primary goal is to provide a place for writers to talk with writers about their writing projects, and our individual consultation service provides that opportunity.

Consultations with a trained writing consultant last 25 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.

The center’s writing consultants can assist you in any of the following areas:

o Deciding on a topic

o Generating ideas

o Focusing your ideas

o Organizing your ideas

o Improving your writing style

o Handling technical details of grammar, documentation, and format

o Overcoming writer’s block

o Understanding different forms of writing

o Becoming a more confident, comfortable writer

Individual Consultations for Graduate Students

Since graduate-level essays are often lengthy, you may reserve an hour-long appointment instead of the standard half hour.

Library Satellite

A Writing Center consultant is now available for limited hours at UNO’s Criss 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.

In-Center Workshops

Every semester, the center’s consultants offer a variety of workshops on topics of interest to the university’s writing community. Presented at our central location in ASH 150, presentation topics range from pre-writing strategies to documentation styles. To see our list of workshops for the current semester, click here.

Workshop PowerPoints

Previous Writing Center workshops, created by center staff, are available in PowerPoint. These presentations may be used as individual tutorials or for classroom instruction. To see the list of topics, click here.

Class-Specific Workshops

Writing Center staff also create class-specific writing workshops. If a faculty member would like a workshop on a particular topic for one or more classes, contact the Writing Center director.
