Writing, on the other hand, allows people to identify, clarify, condense,…, I provide assistance to students, staff, and faculty with any writing project, and at stage of that project., Specifically, as the Writing Specialist, I can diagnose areas in your writing that could use attention; help improve your understanding and employment of grammar, punctuation, and usage; and aid in interpreting assignments, creating an outline, generating content, and organizing, revising, editing, and proof-reading that content. Potential projects for which you might seek my assistance might…, I encourage you to involve me in your writing process as early as possible., You need not have anything written to meet with me; in fact, including me in your pre-writing process will often eliminate unnecessary rewriting., Also recognize that I tend to get very busy as due dates approach. I encourage you, therefore, to use forethought and attempt to schedule your appointments well in advance of their submission dates., I schedule meetings on a first-come, first-served basis, but will prioritize direct referrals from faculty, 1Ls, and those without previous last-minute cancelations (in that order)., To schedule an appointment, email me at, jkishbaugh@rwu.edu, with a small range of days and times on those days when you are available. Please allow and schedule for a response from me within twenty-four hours during the work week, and forty-eight hours over the weekend., During that time, I will compare your schedule with mine, and will respond with a proposed meeting day and time. We can then fine-tune that appointment in subsequent emails if necessary, . I only offer in-person meetings unless you cannot make it to campus, . In the latter situation, please schedule an appointment anyway and let me know it is for a submission., You also need not submit your work to me prior to our meeting, unless it is a submission because you cannot make it to campus; I prefer and have found much better results when you and I look over your assignment together. , I schedule all my appointments for the top of the hour, , and I will allot as much of that hour as is necessary to the appointment. Should you find my schedule full on any given day,, though, I welcome you to stop by my office around thirty or forty-five minutes past the hour to see if my appointment ended early, . If I am available, I will meet with you until my next scheduled appointment. Lastly, please try to provide twenty-four hours’ notice of cancellation. Thank you, and I look forward to working with you, Justin Kishbaugh, M.F.A., Ph.D.
