About BilWrite
What is BilWrite?
BilWrite is a free service provided by the Faculty
Academic English (FAE) Program of Bilkent University School of English Language. It offers help and
feedback on Bilkent students' writing assignments and professional and postgraduate applications.
Who can BilWrite help?
The service is open to all current Bilkent undergraduate and graduate students.
We are sorry, but we cannot help:
- with work for ENG courses (e.g., 101, 102, 117/8, 206, 401, etc.) or PHIL 243/244. Instructors of these courses already offer one-on-one feedback tutorial sessions.
- former/non-Bilkent students.

Where is BilWrite?
Due to the ongoing pandemic, consultations will take place via Zoom.
How does it work?
What happens during a consultation?
- Consultations allow students to work one-on-one with a writing consultant.
- The consultants will help students understand their writing tasks and focus
on particular skill areas that have been identified as needing improvement.
- Students can also work with consultants on revising and polishing a piece of
writing before turning it in.
- The consultants will also provide
feedback on the overall organization of the paper, clarity, coherence, language
structure and word choice, and whether it meets the requirements of the
task.
BilWrite consultants can . . .
- provide feedback in order to help students become better writers.
- help with grammar, but do not correct or ‘fix’ papers.
- work only
with writers and their texts (don’t bring a friend’s paper).
BilWrite consultants do not . . .
- write papers for students.
- proofread papers (i.e., correct all errors).
