    Writing Productivity Sessions

    You don't need to wait until you have a draft to come to the Writing Center; sometimes the writing itself is the hardest part. Your consultant will help you set a goal and check in when you wish.

    We offer two weekly groups for students and staff who want to schedule some time during their busy weeks to set a goal, work on a writing project (however big or small), and walk away each week knowing they've made progress.

The University Writing Center works with all University of Denver students, staff, and faculty as part of the Writing Program's mission to foster inclusive, accessible, collaborative, and ethical writing and literacy practices needed in diverse rhetorical contexts.

Our graduate and advanced undergraduate peer consultants help writers in all fields and majors and at all levels to make informed choices about how they navigate language, literacy, and learning in the writing they do. We encourage all writers to build peer conversation and response into their writing practice. 

We offer a variety of supports for writers, including writing consultations, written/recorded peer response on short writing projects, workshops, drop-in hours, writing groups, support for thesis and dissertation writers, and specialized STEM writing support.
