About This Course

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to advance their career by improving their writing

What you’ll learn: 

  • An introduction to the world of business writing
  • Steps in business writing—how to organize your thoughts, writing and editing your first draft

If you can’t write clearly, you won’t get hired. And if you can’t write clearly, you won’t last long enough in a position to be considered for promotion. If you want to get ahead in your career, you must learn to write well. Your success in business depends on your ability to communicate.

The Business Writing Course is divided into four modules:

  • Module one is an introduction to the world of business writing
  • Module two teaches you the first step in business writing—how to organize your thoughts
  • Module three teaches you the second step in business writing—writing your first draft
  • Module four teaches you the third and final step in business writing—editing your first draft

The ideal student for The Business Writing Course is anyone who wants to advance their career by improving their writing. If you want to get hired, or if you want to get promoted, and if poor writing is holding you back, then this course is for you.

I pass on to you all that I’ve learned about effective business writing during my last three decades as a writer, editor and proofreader. I show you the most common mistakes that business people make in their writing today—and then I show you how to avoid these blunders in your writing.

It’s delivered as a series of on-demand video lessons. Each lesson includes a downloadable transcript, helpful for reading on the train or in your spare time.
