Welcome to the Graduate Online Writing Studio! Our experienced and supportive writing consultants offer writing consultations to hone your writing, reading, critical thinking, researching, and publishing skills. You will also find valuable learning resources on our website. We look forward to helping you succeed.
The help you request should be based on feedback you’ve received from your professor. For example, if your professor has pointed out that you need to improve your sentence fluency, demonstrate the ability to summarize in your own words, and show evidence of learning, you may ask us to help you in these areas. We encourage you to think critically about how we can best help you so that we can focus our feedback.
Return times vary from a few hours to 48 hours. The length of time it takes to return a paper depends on the number of papers in the queue ahead of you and length of your document. We make every effort to return your work as soon as possible.
Almost all professors provide a penalty-free extension if you use the Writing Studio. Please check with your professor for details.
You may use the Writing Studio once per week. Since we are not an editing service, we expect you will take the feedback we provide, apply it to other assignments, and review your professor’s feedback prior to submitting your next assignment for Writing Studio consultants to review.. Understanding that we focus on your long-term growth as a scholarly writer, you must participate in that process by reflecting on your strengths and weaknesses. We recommend revisiting the comments on your previously reviewed submissions to monitor your progress concerning those issues. Are we identifying the same opportunities for growth every time, or are you incorporating our feedback into your writing habits and producing continually stronger drafts? After one week, we hope you will return, show signs of improvement in your writing, and prepare to embrace additional ways to hone your academic writing skills.
The one submission per week policy also applies to students who are taking two classes simultaneously. That is, only one document (total) will be reviewed per week.

Yes! Most students who use the Writing Studio are earning good grades. Since most rubrics primarily assess content, there isn’t necessarily a correlation between your grades and writing skills. Every student can benefit from feedback on their writing. It will serve you well in your academic and professional career.
All Keiser University Graduate School students.
To request a writing consultation, attach your assignment and a completed Writing Consultation Request form (two separate attachments) to an email and send it to the Writing Studio (writingstudio@keiseruniversity.edu). Please include your assignment directions on the form so that writing consultants can advise you as to how well you have addressed the assignment requirements.
Please note that the assignment you submit for review must be a Microsoft Word or PowerPoint document. Writing Studi/o consultants cannot make comments on documents with other formats like PDF files.
The Writing Studio is available seven days per week. Writing consultants work on a rotating basis throughout the day and evening.
No. You can apply feedback as you see fit based on your familiarity with your course, assignment, and professor. Writing Studio consultants do not have the expertise that you do in your academic area, so we defer to students to make final decisions on their content.
Writing consultants will provide a contact phone number and email address when they return your assignment, so you can contact them with questions.
It depends. If we determine that you are repeating mistakes, we may stop after a certain number of pages and encourage you to apply our feedback to the rest of your paper. Since we do not edit papers, it would not make sense for us to repeat the same feedback on headings, organization, showing evidence of learning, citations, etc. You can request that specific parts of your writing be reviewed.
Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee you a grade. Our goal is to provide you meaningful and relevant feedback to help improve your learning experience. Most students who use the Writing Studio are quite pleased with our feedback and use our services regularly. The Writing Studio team consistently posts a 98% student satisfaction rating on anonymous surveys.
We prefer that you receive a diverse range of feedback from different writing consultants.
Yes. When we return your assignment with comments, we send a copy to your professor. Using the service demonstrates you want to maximize your learning experience and you are dedicated to improving your academic writing ability.
It is the primary responsibility of your committee chair and committee members to review your dissertation and offer feedback to improve it. You may submit one chapter per week to the Writing Studio. We will offer additional guidance on a portion of each chapter that you can apply throughout the rest of the document.
Contact Writing Studio Director Dr. Kirschner at akirschner@keiseruniversity.edu. All emails are returned within 24 hours.

My instructors believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. Student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. Everyone was dedicated to my overall success.
Going to Keiser University was one of the greatest experiences in my life. All of my deans, professors, and staff made me feel that I was a part of something very special, and I am. I would recommend for anyone to get their education at Keiser University.
The instructors at Keiser University impacted my life. They believed in my ability to become a great graphic designer, regardless of how I felt about my skills. KU helped to prepare me for the real world and got me to where I am today.
If not for my education at Keiser I probably would not be where I am today, in both life and career. It is because of going to Keiser and the instructors I had that I joined a club started by Mr. Williams, The Lakeland Shooters Photography Group, which allowed me to venture into an amazing and very creative field that I use to enhance all aspects of my life.
The Design program at Keiser University was filled with real world learning and hands on instruction… Based on the portfolio I created while a student at Keiser University, I landed a job in Graphic Design for a major online retailer immediately after graduation.
The year and a half I spent in the program better prepared me for attaining a job in the field…As a hands-on learner, the project-centered teaching was perfect for me.
Keiser University has given me the opportunity to embrace a career change… It has opened the door for a timely graduation and quick return to the work force…
Without the education I received at Keiser University, I would not be where I am today!
I not only received an excellent education but also encouragement and training that built my self-confidence every day.
I realize the amount of knowledge I gained and feel that the educational experiences have developed me in to a person who can move higher up the career ladder.
Keiser University’s MBA program has renewed my mind, changed the way I think, and given me a new sense of purpose. The professors transformed my attitude and behavior, gave me the self-confidence I was lacking, and restored my energy.
It has been great attending and graduating from Keiser University. Because of the small class sizes, I was able to build good relationships with classmates and professors. The PA professors care very much about the progress and success of the students and have been great advisors every step of the way through the program.
Attending Keiser University and getting my degree was the best decision I have ever made. The small class sizes and personalized attention helped me get my degree quickly. The hands-on experience and the education landed me a job at a neighboring law firm.
I chose Keiser because it had everything—small classes, caring professors, hands-on learning, and counselors that are really there for you. I feel like I’m part of a family here, not just a number.
After being denied for several promotions at my current employer, I decided that I needed to further my education. Since graduating from Keiser with my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, I have been promoted and I am able to obtain positions that weren’t available to me before.
Beyond the curriculum of the courses, the lessons the instructors have taught me have paid dividends in my real work experiences. How to respond to criticisms, project and time management, interview skills, the list goes on and on. At the end of the day, they not only showed me how to design, but they taught me how to be a professional.
Keiser helped change my life by getting my education at the right school! I had been going to another school before, I dropped out because I felt that I was not getting enough information. When I found out about Keiser, I was pleased because the instructors were great.
My decision to attend Keiser University has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I chose to enroll in the Information Technology program… The one-class-a-month pace helped incredibly with my self-discipline.
The BA for Business Administration at Keiser has to be one of the best in the nation. Keiser takes the basics that are taught at the Associates level and uses them to strengthen your skills and knowledge.
I found that Keiser University’s Nuclear Medicine program of advanced studies and small class size was a perfect fit. I never came across a faculty member who wasn’t truly interested.
