Writing for Business

EDC offers free work­shop on Writ­ing for Business

Effec­tive busi­ness writ­ing is not only a key tool, it defines one’s image as a busi­ness per­son or entre­pre­neur. Join the San Juan Coun­ty Eco­nom­ic Devel­op­ment Coun­cil for a FREE work­shop on the top­ic of Writ­ing for Busi­ness, on Tues­day, Novem­ber 22nd from 1–2:00 p.m. on San Juan Island.  Advanced reg­is­tra­tion is required.

The secret to effec­tive writ­ing for busi­ness pur­pos­es is orga­ni­za­tion, direct­ness and sim­plic­i­ty. Not­ed man­age­ment con­sul­tant and author, Mike Sanders will present five tools to allow you to dou­ble writ­ing speed and reader’s com­pre­hen­sion – to write pow­er­ful­ly and fast. These tools include clear, famil­iar words, short sen­tences with a sin­gle point, active voice sen­tence con­struc­tion, using para­graph head­ings, and employ­ing jour­nal­is­tic style. Free hand­outs and Busi­ness Writ­ing Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion are included.
