Even the best writers need editors and feedback. No one is born writing, and getting writing consults to help build and strengthen writing skills is beneficial no matter your confidence in writing. Whether you are an MDiv, Deaconess, EIIT, SMP, or graduate student, let us know how we can provide some focused writing feedback to help you with your individual writing needs.
-
Individual: writing consultations online
-
Group: weekly virtual writing hunkers and periodic writing retreats
-
Research and Reference: In-class instruction for research assignments and individual assistance
We will always focus on higher order concerns over lower order concerns: readability, argument, and organization over commas; however, we will provide advice on how to build stronger sentence-level writing skills as well.
Spring 2024 office hours: Sundays 6:00-8:00 pm CDT via Zoom.
If you are not able to meet during these office hours, schedule an online writing consultation by contacting Kristen Einertson at: einertsonk@csl.edu or sign up for a 60 minute slot here.

ARC Weekly Virtual Writing Hunker
You are cordially invited to join the Weekly Virtual Writing Hunker on Tuesday afternoons from 2:00-4:00pm. We all have writing work to do throughout the week, and sometimes it can be nice to do it quietly with others. The Hasse Library Writing Center is hosting this Zoom space to provide you with the ability to have accountable writing time in the midst of your peers. You can feel free to join the Zoom room at any point and leave whenever it is convenient for you. We will begin at 2:00pm on Tuesdays by identifying our goals aloud or in the chat—these can be whatever you are working on for class or your program. We will video and audio mute, check in halfway through, and debrief at the end of our time. Mark your calendars for these weekly sessions and join via this link.
