About the Writing Lounge

Bring an unfinished text, a project sketch, or a question related to academic writing and drop by during our opening hours.

In Skrivestua you meet an experienced fellow student/writing mentor who can give oral feedback on the text, talk to you about the writing process, and recommend relevant practical exercises and tips that can help you progress in your writing work.

Come and show us your writing skills!
