A Quick Question is generally a brief but specific question regarding some writing or formatting convention. Typically, they are the sort of question one of our trained consultants can answer in 10 minutes or less. If the answer takes longer to find or has a more complex explanation, we will suggest scheduling a consultation for more detailed help.

Our Quick Question service is a great way to get a fast answer on the little grammar, citation, or miscellaneous writing rules that have you momentarily stumped. You can ask your question while you’re writing and get an answer typically within 30 minutes. We accept quick questions through email, via Google Chat, and over the phone.
