Business Writing Courses
If you work in public relations, marketing or a job that requires you to write regularly, then writebetter.co.uk have devised a special one-day course for you.
We also have a session to show how to use the web more efficiently, now that so much information is online.
The writebetter course will take you through the most important aspects of researching and compiling reports, press releases and other documents that people are likely to read.
Many writing courses demand attendance over a period of months, but this one will speed you through the basics in a way that will make a big difference to your output.
It will also point you in the direction for further learning, with resource sheets and a copy of Build Content, Build Links, a manual on writing and boosting your websites presence online.
Even if you are unfamiliar with the web, the book will be easy to understand.
The writing elements of the course concentrate on a basic ‘hierarchy of writing’.
These are called:
A Matter of Fact – the sort of things you must get right, such as names, addresses, ages, qualifications and basic grammatical sentences.
A Matter of Opinion – there are as many styles of writing as there are ‘experts’ on the subject. This session will outline a few possible styles and construction. What works best for you and – more importantly – what will work best for those people who are likely to read it.
A Matter for Yourself – if you fancy becoming even more skilled in writing, then we will point you in the right direction. It might be that you have become smitten by the correct use of the possessive gerund, or dangling participles. If so, we can help you take it a stage further.
If not, you get to go home early.
