Scholarly Writing Writing Fellows 

While all Writing Fellows are trained to give feedback to upper-level students working on scholarly writing assignments, a number of Writing Fellows are serving as "Scholarly Writing Writing Fellows" (SW WFs) this year. 

If you are an upper-level student working on a note or other scholarly writing assignment and you choose to sign up for an appointment with a SW WF, your SW WF will read your entire draft as long as you submit it at least 48 hours before your appointment. Be sure to include a specific agenda of aspects you want your SW WF to focus on for feedback.

Note: SW WFs will read only 15 pages of drafts submitted between 24-48 hours before an appointment, and will not read anything in advance if a draft is submitted less than 24 hours in advance.

If you are working on a note or other scholarly writing assignment and you meet with a Writing Fellow who is not serving as a SW WF, your Writing Fellow will read no more than 15 pages of your draft.  Be sure to provide a specific agenda so your Writing Fellow knows which 15 pages to focus on. 

To find out which Writing Fellows are serving as SW WFs, click on the "Writing Fellows" tab to your left.
