Online Writing Tutor

How to Get Help from the Online Writing Tutor

The process for submitting your paper may take as long as 10-20 minutes. If you do not have time now, please preview the steps, prepare your information, and return to this 'site when you have enough time to complete the process.

NOTE: You MUST submit your paper in "Rich Text Format"; this means that you need to save your paper with the ".rtf" suffix before attaching it to the submission form.

The tutor will e-mail you with comments, usually within 48 hours (Ex: For a paper you submit on Friday, you may not be receiving a response until Sunday, so it's important to please PLAN AHEAD!). During periods of high use, turnaround time may be longer. Although the online tutor may provide editing guidance, this is NOT an editing/proofreading service.

Before using the Online Writing Tutor service, you are encouraged to take a moment to view the Little Brown Handbook online site to help you further improve your paper.

If you wish to work with a tutor in person, please visit the writing tutor on your campus.
