Welcome to the Writers Workshop!

How can we help you today?

Reserve your appointment soon! The Writers Workshop will be open for the summer from 6/16-8/7.

The Writers Workshop provides free support to all writers in the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus community across all forms of academic and professional writing, at any stage of the writing process. We offer writing groups, writing-related presentations, and writing consultations where we provide feedback on essays, research papers, personal statements, cover letters, theses and dissertations, manuscripts for publication, presentations, digital compositions, and anything between and beyond.

We offer a variety of consultation types to meet you where you are:

In-Person Appointments, where you’ll reserve a 50-minute appointment at one of our locations in the Main Library, Grainger Library, or MCB Learning Center.
Video Call Appointments, where you’ll reserve a 50-minute appointment to meet with a consultant in real-time via videoconferencing.
Written Feedback Appointments (WFA), where you’ll reserve an appointment, upload your document(s), complete a detailed appointment form, and receive written feedback at the end of your appointment time. There is no live interfacing with the consultant in this format.
Drop-In Consultations, where you’ll meet with a consultant in a 15-30 minute, first-come, first-served session. These are located via Zoom, the Main Library, or the Lisnek LAS Hub during specific hours of the day. **These are not available during the summer.

We are committed to providing accessible services. To request accommodations, please contact Dr. Carolyn Wisniewski at wow@illinois.edu or call 217-333-8796.
