People would sooner point out a grammar mistake than actually consider your ideas. Unfair.

But that’s how people are.

It’s an unfortunate predicament:

A good employee doesn’t get promoted because the bad grammar in their emails, memos, and reports screams “unprofessional” and “untrustworthy.”
An aspiring fiction writer loses readers because of a lack of structure and elegance.
A hard-working blogger can’t grow an audience because the writing is littered with ambiguity and poor word choice.
A smart student gets a “B” on the paper instead of an “A” because run-on sentences and comma splices distract from the argument.

I won’t even mention what happens with social media posts. But there’s no need to worry…

After taking this course, you will begin to write with confidence and clarity. You will communicate your ideas more effectively, and take your writing to a whole new level.
