 |
Free handouts on topics ranging from semicolons to
resumes to research papers. |
 |
Answers to most of your questions about organization,
form, grammar, and other concerns. |
 |
Suggestions and opinions about your work, not demands.
All decisions are yours. |
 |
A friendly, low-stress atmosphere. |
 |
Sound, objective advice from consultants who have been
successful with their own writing and who want to help you with yours. |
 |
An improved paper and, more importantly, an improved

YOU
CAN'T EXPECT . . .
 |
A proofreading or editing service. We will
help you learn to find and fix mistakes; we will NOT take your paper and do a last minute
editing job for you. |
 |
A perfect paper. Our goal is to help you
become an improved, more independent writer. We hope to help you with your most important
problems, so that you can recognize them and avoid them in the future. Our goal is NOT to
hunt down every error in every paper. |
 |
Someone to write your paper for you. We
offer feedback and advice, but you do ALL the work. |
