Frequently asked questions
Easy. Just email me at sonwriting@uw.edu and I’ll help you figure out what you need and make an appointment.
I typically use highlighting and make comments on the side rather than editing the text you’ve written. My goal is to help build your writing skills by having a conversation about your writing where I help you identify opportunities for improvement.
I’m happy to meet in person or online with Zoom, whatever is most convenient for you.
I have weekly office hours each quarter, and update my bookings page to reflect accurate availability. You can find the link below! These are by appointment only, so there is no true “walk-in” time but you are welcome to email me to discuss availability outside of my office hours.
I will work with you to find a time that works for both of us, even if it’s outside my usual hours.
I can help with whatever academic or professional writing you are doing, including scholarship essays, manuscripts you’re submitting for publication, etc.
This expertise lives in the UW libraries and is not the focus of writing support. I will occasionally give pointers, but those areas are outside the scope of the writing RA role. A good place to start is the links on the writing support webpage.
