Simple Steps to Improve Your Writing

Written communication is essential in everything we do. We may be asked to write a report for the work we do in our jobs. We may have to write proposals for potential clients. We may need to write a cover letter to convince a potential employer that we are the best person for the job. However, writing is much more than simply typing words on a page or an email. In this 3-hour workshop, you will learn how the writing process will lead you to stronger written communication. The course will cover identifying your audience and language adaptation, creating a strong purpose for your writing, shaping your writing around that goal, drafting, editing and some formatting skills. The course will also provide participants with resources to also assist with improving their writing. Handouts, lecture notes and links to resources will be provided in Canvas for participants.
