The Graduate Writing Lab’s five full-time staff members and 40 graduate student Fellows are eager to support your growth as a writer and help you produce your best work. Whether you’re drafting a course assignment, preparing a Fellowship application, working on a dissertation chapter, or revising a paper for publication, our programs and resources can add structure, feedback, joy, and a sense of connection to your writing process.
Schedule a consultation to discuss a writing project; join a peer-review group to exchange feedback and connect with other writers; boost your productivity at an All Write or writing retreat; or attend a workshop to expand your writing toolkit. Upcoming events are announced weekly in the Graduate Writing Lab newsletter.
Bring us your questions, your challenges, and the feedback you’ve received. Our team is eager to help you thrive as a graduate writer.
