In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

Dear Students,

Thanks so much for visiting the Writing Hub! We're glad you're here, and we look forward to supporting your writing goals.

Our service operates on an appointment-only/first-come, first-served basis. To ensure that you receive your full appointment time and that our staff are aware of your appointment, please make appointments at least half an hour before your desired appointment start time. For example, if you'd like a 9 a.m. appointment on Monday, please book no later than 8:30 a.m. on Monday. This will allow the Student Writing Fellow on duty to prepare for your appointment in advance. Since we have only one Writing Fellow on duty per hour, it's sometimes difficult to see new appointments in time when they are made at the last minute, especially if we are busy assisting other students.

Please note that if you fail to attend appointments, you will be automatically blocked by the system after the third no-show and unable to book future appointments, so please be courteous and cancel your appointment if you can no longer make it. 

Thanks so much for your understanding and cooperation, and we hope you enjoy your session and find it useful.

We are always interested to hear how we can improve the assistance we provide, so all feedback is most welcome. You can provide feedback to your tutor or write to me confidentially @ susan.thomas@sydney.edu.au. 

Our Writing Fellows for Semester 1 2025 (all currently enrolled postgraduate students) are as follows:

• • Amanda Yau, Head Student Writing Fellow (fluent in Cantonese and English))
  • Anastasia Byesyedina (fluent in Ukrainian and English)
  • Amanda Yau 
  • Agnes Conrad
  • Seung Je Koh (fluent in Korean and English)
  • Ray Zhou (fluent in Mandarin)

All the best,

Associate Professor Susan Thomas

Writing Hub Coordinator

All consultations are held online. Please treat this appointment as you would an in-person appointment: be available to log in for your appointment, and have your writing ready to share with our one of our Writing Fellows.
