**ALL NEW CONTENT, EXAMPLES AND EXERCISES**

“I purchased this course way back in 2012 when I was just beginning to take writing seriously… I have looked and re-looked at this course over time and have still found it to be highly relevant and helpful.” – Caleb K, Udemy student

LESS IS MORE

Often the fewer words you write, the more impact you make.

Your writing is punchy, to the point and enticing for your readers.

• Do you write for business, university or a blog?

• Do you write too many words? Wish you could be more succinct?

• Do you need to write to a word count?

• Perhaps you just need to produce your best written communication.

Whether you write client emails, essays, marketing material or technical reports, being concise will help you get a more powerful message across – faster. This course will equip you with the writing and editing skills to produce concise, effective written communication with confidence.

“Comprehensive guide on keeping it simple. Fewer words for a more compelling story!” –Jack O, Udemy student

I’ve worked as a writer and editor for more than 25 years – as a journalist for high-profile international publications, and as a copywriter for countless businesses, creative agencies, government entities and not-for-profit organizations. Being succinct is one of the most common issues I’m asked to address.

In this fast-paced business writing course, I share my secrets to writing concise content and powerful messages. I reveal simple techniques to keep your words down and your message compelling – giving you the confidence to write concisely, with ease.

“This course is well-planned and well-presented. The instructor teaches from a foundation of experience in writing business messages. This makes for a decidedly “business-friendly” class rather than one packed with complex rules about grammar and structure.”–Bruce F, Udemy student

I’ve created cheat sheets you can print and keep next to your computer for easy reference, and exercises that will hone your business writing skills.

Forget grammar theory; think easy-to-follow examples and business-oriented content. Like my writing, my explanations are concise and clear – you won’t find yourself sitting through long-winded or technical explanations.

At the end of this course, your business writing will:

• Make more impact

• Be more succinct and powerful

• Be punchy, clear and impactful

• Grab and hold your readers’ attention
