Do you want to get A grades on term papers and essays?
Do you want to become a good writer – in creative non-fiction, journalism, fiction, or academic writing – as quickly as possible?
The secret to this writing success is not studying 200 grammar and style points in the writing textbooks.
Instead, this course – designed by an experienced university professor and published author with Oxford University Press – shows you the sentence-level lessons you need to know to write well.
These are the 7 most common problems found in people’s writing.
These problems most likely lurk – like weeds – in your writing right now.
If you complete the lessons and exercises honestly and fully as outlined in this course, then your writing will improve in just a few weeks of intensive study. If you do not find this course helpful, you may request a refund within 30 days, no questions asked.
These lessons and exercises were designed and tested at the University of Toronto and York University with thousands of undergraduate students. Many students improved their grades by a whole grade categoryafter completing these lessons, finding that this short list of key lessons provides clarity. Students have applied these lessons in the workplace to great success.
Join now and complete this course to produce writing that gets you the job, earns you an A grade, lands you a writing contract, or impresses that magazine or newspaper editor.
In this comprehensive course, I will help you:
-
See sentences more objectively;
-
Understand the factors that interfere with communication;
-
Remove dead language – such as dead verbs and weak nouns – from your writing;

Write more clear, direct, and precise sentences;
