Individual Writing Consultations

The Steinhardt Writing Center

Our one-on-one writing consultation sessions will support you in enhancing your writing skills to communicate your ideas more effectively. These skills are crucial not only for academic success but also for professional excellence. Whether you have a completed paper in hand or are just beginning to brainstorm, our writing consultants can help guide you toward opportunities to strengthen your main idea or thesis statement; organize your writing persuasively; and refine sentence structure, grammar, and word usage.

Our writing consultants provide feedback on various types of writing, including:

  • Short response papers
  • Final projects, theses, and dissertations
  • Reports, memos, and white papers
  • Grant applications
  • Personal statements, cover letters, and resumes
  • Non-academic writing
  • Academic and professional emails
  • Converting a paper to a presentation

While sharing a specific document is often most beneficial, we can also assist with getting started, brainstorming, or refining your paper topic. Our services are not intended for editing; instead, sessions require active student participation in the writing process. All consultations are confidential, and we do not report to faculty about students who visit the Writing Center.

One-on-one writing consultations are 45 minutes in length, held on Zoom, and available at a range of times to fit your schedule. All current Steinhardt students are welcome. Book an appointment at the link below!

Please note: If you’d like the consultant to review and offer feedback on written work, share your document as a Google Doc with your writing consultant (via email) at least 24 hours before your appointment.
