Good writing is good writing.

For the most part, good writing comes from understanding the fundamentals. Once you know the basics, it’s just a matter of tailoring your writing for your purpose and audience.

I create customized courses that help transform you and your team into the writers you want to be.

Whether you need to hone your rhetorical skills through one-to-one feedback, teach content writers the basics of storytelling, or train a team of copywriters to create snappy, persuasive content, I’ll deliver a comprehensive, lively training that engages participants. I use my enthusiasm and deep subject-matter expertise to make sure the information learned sticks with them after the course has finished.

I’m passionate about teaching people how to write. With a background in teaching secondary education, directing writing centers, coaching C-suite professionals, and delivering business trainings, I’ll design a customized course that meets your specific needs—no matter what those needs are.

How long is a training course?

A training course runs for two half-days. If you do your homework in between, you’ll gain valuable, personalized feedback that will help you further improve your writing.

What’s covered in the course?

Training courses are custom made for your needs. However, most people need to brush up on the fundamentals before learning how to develop, structure, and write stylized content designed for their target audience. Below is a syllabus from a recently taught business writing course.
