Plain Language Workshop

Plain Language is more than simple, active sentences. It’s about well-designed written products that help users find what they need, understand what they find, and use what they find to meet their needs. We teach your team to put their audience first and create content that is easy to use and easy to read.

Participants will

  • Understand the goals and research behind plain language principles

  • Write clear, active sentences

  • Revise jargon, passive voice, and other business writing bad habits

  • Use smart information design to make written content more user-friendly
