Email Consultations
As of Spring 2005, the Boise State Writing Center is pleased to offer email consulting. Though we feel that face-to-face meetings are still a valuable and highly productive way for writer and reader to discuss a text, we also understand that not every writer can easily stop by the Center. So if you don’t have time to visit the Writing Center in person, you can still receive detailed feedback on your writing from one of our consultants.All you have to do is e-mail your paper to us, and, within 72 hours, excluding weekends, we will send back comments to help you revise your writing. If the piece of writing you are working on is for a class, please provide information about the assignment in the space provided. There is also a space for you to tell us what specific questions or concerns you have about your writing. That way, our consultant can provide the kind of feedback you want to have.
We also offer you the opportunity to ask Quick Questions about formatting, grammar, etc., which we can respond to in roughly 24 hours.
Last point: email consulting is new for us, so please be patient. If you have questions or concerns, call the Center (426-1298) or email us at writing@boisestate.edu.
E-Mail Consultation Policies
1. This service is for members of
the Boise State community (students, faculty, staff).
2. Writers may submit two pieces
of writing per week.
3. Only 7 pages of double-spaced writing will be
accepted per session. If you would like to submit a longer paper, submit
portions of it over a period of time. Another option is to submit the portion
that you have the most questions about.
4. If your main concern is with grammar,
we can only respond to 3 double-spaced pages per session.
5. Rather
than edit papers, we pinpoint patterns
of errors and show you how to fix them.
