Writing can be difficult, but you don\u2019t have to tackle this challenge alone.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

During a Writing Assistance appointment, you will receive holistic guidance to develop your project and your overall writing skills. To make the most of your appointment, bring specific questions, ideas and goals – but don’t worry if you haven’t started writing, or your writing is not as polished as you would like! That’s where our Writing Fellows can help.<\/p>\n

ERC Writing Fellows<\/a> are graduate students with a strong background in effective writing who are trained to offer targeted, thoughtful guidance. They can provide valuable insight at all stages of the writing process and can support you in building a strong argument, refining style, integrating evidence, navigating feedback & more!<\/p>\n

Any BU affiliate (including alumni) can utilize our services for free<\/strong>!<\/span><\/p>\n
