Virtual Consultations are held remotely using Google Meet and Google Docs. After you’ve booked your appointment, your consultant will send a confirmation email for the scheduled appointment with your Google Meet link and a link to your digital intake sheet at least 30 minutes prior to the consultation starts. Note that you will receive multiple emails regarding your appointment. Be sure to check all of them for the Google Meet link, a link to your intake sheet, and other important information like the day and time of your appointment.

Follow the intake sheet link and fill out the form with all the necessary information for your appointment. There you will also upload an electronic copy of the document you want to work with, as well as any prompt/writing instructions that would aid the conversation about your paper.

Most consultations take place using video and audio, but we are also happy to work with you over audio only or through the chat function at your preference. Technical difficulties may occur on the consultant’s end (and possibly yours). Your consultant will do what they can to resolve any technical issues; if they are unable to, your appointment may need to be rescheduled.

Virtual Consultations are considered public, academic spaces. Writers are expected to conduct themselves as professionally in these online settings as they would in a classroom. Consultants reserve the right to terminate the consultation if any writer refuses to adhere to such standards.

We do not accept drop-ins for Virtual Consultations of any kind; all writers must make an appointment.

Visit the Schedule an Appointment link and when prompted select Virtual Consultation.
