Writing and Editing for Communicators
When you approach a new writing task, do you know what will make your final product “good” and exactly how to make that happen? Or, have you learned your professional writing skills through trial and error, hoping for the best, or getting heavy edits from others? Maybe you like the idea of improving the “flow” or “tone” of your writing, or reducing your “wordiness” and being “engaging”—but what do those things really look like in action? Where can you actually find them in a draft?
In this course, you will learn to use a three-part framework for better edits that Bold Type LLC instructors have taught to thousands of professionals in our training programs.
