Don’t Be A Writeoff
 A speedy refresher course in spelling, grammar and punctuation for corporate communicators

You don’t greet clients with stains on your shirt, or pitch your boss a new idea while chewing gum, do you? So why are you making equally basic hygiene errors while writing e-mails, press releases, newsletters, reports, job postings and advertisements?

Clean up common spelling, grammar and punctuation errors in a lunch-hour length course tailored to business communicators. Reacquaint yourself with important rules of writing. Discover how to make your message correct and more effective. Pick up the secrets from a pro — a former newspaper and magazine editor.

Learn how to:

• Apply apostrophes at the right time, every time
• Cough up a comma and a dash correctly
• Capitalize impeccably
• Use numbers and acronyms for good, not evil
• Triumph over frequently misspelled words and names
• Recognize, remove and repel dangling participles
• Vastly increase the odds of the media reading your entire press release
• Consult the right reference books forever
