Writing for the Web
Date: Tuesday, February 23, 2010

Despite the fact that the World Wide Web has been around for years, inappropriate and ineffective writing still diminishes its impact and usefulness. Writing for the Web definitely requires a different style and structure. For people used to writing for print, this means a shift in perspective – from telling a story from beginning to end to something akin to peeling a onion to reveal the layers of detail. Learning to structure your writing in an appropriate way is part of the secret of effective web writing.

This one-day workshop is a must for people who write in the course of their work—whether it is letters, emails, reports, promotional materials, briefing notes or instructions. This workshop has two main topics: the principles of plain language writing, and grammar gremlins.

This three-week online course combines the content of How to Improve your Writing and Advanced Techniques to Improve Your Writing. It is perfect for people who want to improve their writing but who don’t have the option of coming to Royal Roads for the full-day writing workshops. Whether you write letters, emails, reports, promotional materials, briefing notes or instructions, the skills and techniques you’ll learn in this course will help you to improve your writing and get your message across.

Building on the basics of How to Improve Your Writing, this popular one-day workshop explores more ways to write with greater clarity and impact. Through the use of effective sentence structure, powerful verbs, and positive statements, you will discover how to clean up the clutter in your writing to get your point across. This course includes writing exercises and time to practice your new-found skills.
