We provide individualized support for writers in four formats:

In–person:  The heart of our services, come to 17 Norton and sit with one of our consultants and talk about your writing. 

Virtual:  If coming to the center is inconvenient, you can schedule a Zoom appointment throughout the week, evenings and even Sundays! 

Written feedback:  If you are unable to meet with a consultant, either in person or virtually, we can provide asynchronous feedback on your draft.  Please read the instructions carefully before accessing this service.  

Advanced read and meet: If you have a lengthy document you would like the consultant to review before your appointment, you can book the consultant for one hour of reading and then for an interactive appointment in which you can discuss your consultant's feedback and talk out revision plans. Talk with your consultant or email writing@buffalo.edu to set up this service. 

You are welcome to make up to three appointments per week!  

45 minutes devoted to you! We have In-person appointments in 17 Norton as well as Zoom appointments for your convenience.  

• If you find writing projects to be stressful, you are not alone!  There are so many choices, dilemmas and uncertainties in the writing process and each context changes up the game a bit.
• "Talking it out" in a low-stress environment is one of the most effective ways to keep your writing process moving.  
• Students who get involved in the CEW community are participating more and developing more!  Join these hardworking, ambitious students by iconsultations into your writing process!  
• Regular users of CEW writing consultations report increased confidence in their writing ability!  

Hot tip:  Have your assignment sheet or prompts at the ready.   

You can now schedule individual and group appointments to practice and gain feedback in interviewing, presenting, English conversation, and networking. These appointments are held on Fridays in 128 Capen.  There will also be workshops and guest speakers throughout the semester!

While we encourage interactive support, we also offer asynchronous written feedback on your writing! This is a good option for you if:

• Your schedule does not permit attendance in a synchronous session. 
• Your time zone makes scheduling a synchronous session difficult. 
• Your internet connection is unreliable.
• ·You prefer the asynchronous format.
