WSU On-line Writing Lab (OWL)
Washington State University On-line Writing Lab

Welcome to the Washington State University OWL (On-Line Writing Lab)

What is the WSU OWL?

The WSU OWL, or On-line Writing Lab, is a new service offered by the WSU Writing Lab for students seeking help and advice concerning writing via the internet. The WSU OWL also provides links to research sources on the internet as well as pages and pages of advice concerning documentation, writing skills, and common writing errors.

If you have questions or comments concerning a paper, documentation, or any other question related to writing, go to directions for mailing the WSU OWL.

Although we welcome your questions and comments via the e-mail link provided below, we prefer to meet with you in person. The WSU Writing Lab is located in Room 451 of Avery Hall.

To find out when we are open, go to Writing Lab hours.
