Business Writing Workshop

This is often run over two days. The first day is spent in the “classroom”, working through various techniques to help participants achieve clarity and confidence in their business writing tasks. The second day is divided into a series of one-on-one sessions with each participant , enabling me to review specific examples of their work, answer questions and create customised strategies for tackling their writing challenges. This course works best when run with no more than ten participants, preferably eight, and is normally delivered “on-site”.

Stop the Press

Ever wondered about the mysterious world of media releases? This one-day workshop covers how to write media releases and, most importantly, how to use them. We will work through the process of discerning good media release material, strategies for approaching media outlets, non-media applications for media releases, and create some customised templates to make the process simpler for you, when you get back to the office. This course works best when run with no more than 12 participants, and is typically delivered as a “public” or “open” course, but can be run “on-site”.

Writing for Publication

Do you have to write newsletters, articles, website copy and other types of “publication” material as part of your job? I think those tasks should be thoroughly enjoyable but I understand that if you don’t have a journalistic background, they can be daunting. In this one-day workshop, we dissect these writing assignments as we work through a mini crash course in the basics of journalism. I will show you how simple such writing tasks can be, with the right approach and planning. This course works best when run with no more than eight participants, and is typically delivered as a “public” or “open” course, but can be run “on-site”.
