SEMINARS I offer four seminars for professionals and non-professionals, individuals and groups.
1. WRITING FOR NON-WRITERS
THE PROBLEM
From two-line e-mails to 100-page reports, everyone needs to be able to write well to succeed, but few people are trained to put information into words that are concise, clear, readable and error-free.
THE SOLUTION
Writing for Non-Writers is a one-day seminar that can teach anyone to write well. It covers, among other things, clarity, concision, structure, grammar, punctuation, consistency and common errors. Material is presented in a way that is stimulating and designed to make messages stick. It explains not just what to do, but why.
THE RESULT
Saves time and money by helping people at any level work more efficiently. Ensures good communication within organisations and with third parties. Ends inadvertent and embarrassing errors. Increases general excellence within an organisation.
SUITABLE FOR: Everyone who uses the written word in their work.
2. SUB-EDITING FOR WRITERS
THE PROBLEM
A shortage of sub-editors in the publishing industry. For more about sub-editing, click here. Writers themselves lack awareness of what sub-editors do and why, and in straitened times, editors spend many hours doing sub-editors’ work.
THE SOLUTION
Introduce writers to the basics of sub-editing.
THE RESULT
Understanding what a sub does will mean better written copy with fewer errors. Time and money are saved at every stage of the production schedule. And the general level of excellence is raised.
SUITABLE FOR: print media professionals, present or future.
3. ONE-TO-ONE WORDS
THE PROBLEM
Many people who would benefit from the Writing for Non-Writers seminar don't work in big companies with training budgets. Others learn better on an individual basis, or would benefit from more personal attention and assistance than is possible in a group.
THE SOLUTION
This is the Writing for Non-Writers seminar adapted as a full day's course uniquely tailored to each individual's requirements
THE RESULT
No self-consciousness about being shown up in a group. Confidence that all your questions will be answered and the information you get will be exactly the information you need.
SUITABLE FOR: People wanting that extra advantage in their careers.
4. THINGS YOUR GRAMMAR SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT YOU
THE PROBLEM
"Old-fashioned" grammar and language rules have not been taught consistently for decades. Yet we still use them every time we read or write, so it's important to know how to use them properly.
THE SOLUTION
This is a fun, half-day or evening session that will leave you knowing the rules and how to use them Packed with tips, shortcuts and useful examples. Exercises at every stage reinforce the message.
THE RESULT
New competence and confidence
SUITABLE FOR: Staff away days, conferences, incentive programmes.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
All seminars are a full day except Things Your Grammar Should Have Taught You. All materials are supplied and the number of participants is limited to eight except for One-to-One Words. For prices and available dates please see contacts page.
GUARANTEE AND FOLLOW-UP
All seminars have an unconditional money-back guarantee and a Lifetime Assistance Programme which means you can contact me any time with queries relating to topics covered in the seminars or your own writing.
