The Writers' Workshop, part of the Center for Writing Studies, provides free writing assistance for University of Illinois students, faculty and staff from all disciplines and levels. Discuss your writing with consultants who are experienced writers and teachers of writing. Call or drop-in to set up a 30- or 60-minute session at one of the four Workshop locations.

Sessions are interactive. Through close reading and questions, your consultant will help you express and articulate your ideas.  Your consultant works with you at all stages of the writing process, from brainstorming to writing to revising. Sorry, no proofreading--the Workshop is funded as a teaching unit, not proofreading service.

Bring a copy of your writing to the session, or just your ideas. If you have a class assignment, then please bring a copy of the assignment sheet as well.

For further information about the Writers' Workshop and its programs, call the central location in the University of Illinois Undergraduate Library at (217) 333-8796 or call the Director, Steve Lamos, at (217) 333-1919.
