Welcome to the UNLV Writing Center!




 

Thank you for your interest in the Writing Center!

  • The Writing Center is now open for the Fall 2009 semester. Please call (702) 895-3908 to make an appointment.
  • The OWL is now open.

 

What does the Writing Center do? 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.
