Thank you for your interest in the Writing Center!
- The Writing Center is now open for summer sessions II and III.
- After reading our Online Writing Lab (OWL) guidelines, you may also submit papers online.
What does the Writing Center do?
Although we do not proofread or edit papers, we are a free service to
UNLV students to help you with any writing project, from papers to creative
writing to resumes, and we can work with you at any stage of the writing process.
We can help you brainstorm, make an outline, work on your drafts, or just be
a soundboard for your ideas. We can assist you in person, or you can send us
your paper using the form on our Online Writing Lab (OWL) page.
We also have a computer lab with 13 computers running Windows
XP for student use. Our lab is open every day except Saturday during the fall
and spring semesters, and Monday through Friday during summer sessions II and
III. We are equipped with the latest versions of major word processor and
internet software. Come in to work on your drafts, do research, or work with
a consultant.
During a consultation, you have 45 minutes of undivided
attention from one of our consultants. While you read your writing, we listen
or look for gaps in ideas, problems in organization, grammatical errors, and
elements of style. This helps us address the questions and needs you have
during your consultation. There's more to writing well than just grammar, and
so we look at the whole paper.
We may not get to everything in your paper during one 45
minute session, but your writing skills will be better because of your time
spent here.
