Learn how to write with clarity, confidence, and grace. Join us for an interactive writing seminar Finishing Touches: Grammar Booster for Style taught by writing expert Jane Griesdorf of The Writing Consultants.
Through practical examples, hands-on exercises, and explanatory critiques, you will learn to invigorate your writing style so that it becomes bright and persuasive.
You will learn practical tips to help you understand how to fine-tune your writing style through a close analysis of grammar, punctuation, and rhetorical devices:
- Understand “Reader Response Theory” and how it affects your writing
- Develop a thorough understanding of the Eight Parts of Speech
- Learn to avoid the grammar mistakes that will distract your reader
- Fine-tune your punctuation and use it as a style tool
- Experiment with rhetorical devices that will keep your reader’s attention
- Learn how to properly proofread
Please note that this workshop is only open to participants of the March 25 plenary session.
