The Graduate Writing Lab (GWL) offers free consultations by appointment with trained and certified graduate writing consultants. Our peer consultants offer helpful feedback on any kind of writing at any stage in the writing process. The Graduate Writing Consultants service is a collaboration between the THINK TANK Writing Center and the Graduate College.
Consultant Schedule
Fall 2025 consultations begin Sept 2 and end Dec 16. Students will be able to schedule appointments beginning August 26. Please access our services through the THINK TANK Writing Center appointment system.
We are busy and encourage you to schedule ahead of time. If you cannot find an appointment in the time frame that you need, we encourage you to put yourself on the WCOnline waiting list. Additionally, please fill out our form and consider booking a session with the THINK TANK Writing Center.

What should I expect and what do the consultants help with?
During each session, consultants get acquainted with the student’s writing, answer questions, identify patterns, make recommendations, and help the student come up with a plan for moving forward. Graduate Writing Consultants will spend 45 minutes per student providing feedback on any piece of writing at any stage.
