Turbocharge your professional writing
Course description
Most professional staff need to write as part of their jobs. So would you like to know the secret to high output, high quality writing?
Even for very seasoned writers, writing can be a hit and miss activity, with some days (or weeks!) being hard to get started. And when you do get started, you might sit there for a long time and not produce many words. Finally, when the words are on the page, you may wonder whether they are actually any good.
This workshop will help you to start quickly, write and lot, and ensure that what you do write has the best chance of actually being good.
This workshop draws on the overwhelming body of research (and experience with thousands of writers). This research shows there are very clear and practical evidence-based strategies that can greatly increase your writing quality and quantity. Key aspects of this workshop have featured in the journal Nature.
