OWL, the University Writing Center's Online Writing Lab, exists for writers who cannot come to campus, who need help when the Writing Center is closed, or who prefer to work in a virtual environment. OWL consultants have extensive writing and teaching experience and will review writing, offer feedback, and provide guidance at any stage of the writing process by responding to your specific writing concerns.

OWL serves the entire GMU community. Students, faculty, staff, and alumni from every school and department may use the services of the OWL. The OWL combines the consulting services available in the University Writing Center with the convenience of the World Wide Web and email.

Before sending any work to the OWL, writers must registerto join the OWL community and read the OWL submission guidelines. The more information you can give the OWL, the more help its consultants can offer you. The links below will help you navigate the OWL.
