Being able to articulate one’s point quickly, clearly, concisely and powerfully is a critical skill in effective writing.  This one day workshop provides practical tips and tools that can immediately be used to improve  written communications.

Topics include:

• Facing the crucial issues: determining purpose and analyzing audience
• Organizing and formatting: getting beyond the traditional outline, writing powerful openings and writing for high skim value
• Writing clearly and concisely: using powerful verbs and eliminating extra words and jargon

Participants are encouraged to bring a sample of their writing for individual feedback.
