Introduction


This popular, result oriented, two-day workshop helps you to improve your style and speed to write proposals, regular reports, complicated instructions and long reports. You will learn to organise and structure your information, so that your reader can save time, follow you and get to the heart of your message quickly. You will learn to write summaries, headings, cohesive paragraphs, narration of trends and completed instructions. You will pick up tips to beat writer’s block and write faster. You need to submit one writing sample and complete a brief writing task before the workshop. The facilitator will give you constructive feedback on the writing sample during the workshop
