Quick-Help Line (aka "The Grammar Witch")

If you have a question about the conventions (grammar, usage, punctuation, or mechanics) of standard written English, send email to lwstudio@lclark.edu. The consultant will reply, in most instances, within 24 hours. Questions can be answered most efficiently if you provide the context, usually the sentence, in which the item appears.

Reference Library

The Writing Studio's main office at the graduate school has a collection of reference books including handbooks, dictionaries, and thesauruses as well as literary periodicals and books about the writing process. The Boley Law Library also has books on reserve about writing.

Group Workshops

The writing consultant can work with two or more students in a group on similar or joint projects.

Consulting for Faculty and Staff

The consultant can help faculty use "writing to learn" strategies in their teaching, design or redesign writing assignments, respond effectively to student writing, and set up writing response groups. The consultant is also available to faculty and staff for assistance with grant writing, newsletters, and other professional publications.
