Learn how to write with clarity and persuasion from start to finish. Using practical examples and exercises, Jane will help you improve the readability of your writing and understand the importance of audience awareness, the pitfalls of legalese, and the necessity of point-first writing. The workshop will conclude with a 30 minute Q&A session with Jane Griesdorf. Please note that this workshop is only open to participants of the February 19 plenary session.
