Training: New! Better Business Writing  
   

Better Business Writing is the latest addition to Writing Machine's training portfolio. Teaching you to take a fresh, lateral approach to your business writing, you’ll go back to basics (Who are you talking to? How do they communicate? What do they want to hear?), and learn the techniques that professional writers use to get their words right first time.

Run by a professional writer, the course will teach you how to:

  • Determine your objective
    before you start writing
  • Structure
    including writing in Microsoft Word’s Outline View
  • Research
    what you need to know before you write, and when you need to know it
  • Brief
    how to instruct others to deliver the writing you want
  • Draft
    getting your words down on the page
  • Craft
    tips for making your words sparkle, flow well and engage your reader
  • Review
    how to check that your writing fits the bill

Course format

The course will take the form of a one-day interactive workshop, with a strong emphasis on practical work and one-on-one tuition.

 

Your trainer will be an experienced professional writer, who will demonstrate the techniques we use to make our writing professional, punchy and engaging.

 

As a result, you will not only learn theories that can underpin the way you write for business in the future – you will also have the opportunity to implement those theories under the watchful eyes of someone who writes for a living.

Your workbook

On top of this, you’ll be given a workbook that will be both a learning tool on the day and a reference document for the future. It will explain, expand and reiterate all the points raised throughout the day, so you will never be stuck trying to remember what you were taught.

“The course has made me more productive and has increased the quality of my writing. I find I no longer put it off.”

“The structuring techniques blew me away. I wish someone had taught me that when I was tacking 10000 word essays during my masters degree!”


“Not only has the quality of my writing improved, but the process has also been speeded up considerably.”

“My writing is now more structured, more focussed and more creative. I am much more confident in using writing techniques.”

“It takes me half the time to get a working document together.”

“I am more inclined to write my own copy now – I have more confidence.”
