The Writing Place
Established by Northwestern's University College (now the School of Continuing Studies) and Schaffner Library in 1986, the Writing Place is a free tutorial service provided to students who feel that they can use some extra help with their writing assignments, no matter what the class and no matter what stage of the writing process they might be at. The main emphasis is on one-to-one work with an experienced writer who can analyze the student's text and suggest ways to improve it. Many students are at the earliest stages of researching a paper and seek help focusing a topic or developing a thesis. Others come in with a final draft and wish to have a perfectly clean paper.
The Writing Place is located on the second floor of Schaffner Library. Hours are 4:15 to 6:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Most appointments are 30-45 minutes long.
