The Writing Place is Northwestern's peer tutoring center for writers. Whether you are writing a paper for a class, composing application letters and essays, or working on some other writing project, a Writing Place consultant can help you at any stage of the writing process, from talking about ideas to developing a plan to preparing the final copy.
Consultations are free and available to anyone in the Northwestern community: undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, or staff.
Before making an appointment, you must register online, using your Northwestern e-mail address. That will become your Writing Place log-in. Please choose a password that is different from your NU computer password.
