Great start for beginners. It's the light version of Become a professional Writer, but it covers plenty to keep the beginning writer busy for a while. I liked it so much I bought the full course.

Francesca Roele--Udemy Student

HIDDEN GEM of a COURSE!I can't believe this course is free! This is a great course to improve your writing as it gives you a firm understanding of how to write. It begins with a simple understanding of words, sentences and paragraphs and ends with purpose and habits you can build on. This ONE free condensed version of her other more expanded class gives you a firm understanding of how to write so people can understand your ideas. When you're through you WILL want to take the parent course based on your improvements. IT's well worth it!

-What makes this course unique?

  1. This course is designed and taught by a university writing professor and published author with extensive training in writing.  I will coach you through the basic version of this professionally designed workshop. If you want a brief course to help you build sterling prose, you've come to the right place!  

  2. Tips requires daily practice for them to accomplish results. That is why this course includes habits and attitudes in addition to style strategies.
     
  3. In just a few days, you can also practice habits and attitudes that will help you get the most out of these tips. Daily practices will give you lasting success at beating your competition.  

  4. This course uses an academically researched and time-tested approach called "Bloom's Taxonomy," a model of learning that has years of proven results. The course design is a carefully built system of scaffolding, building skill sets in an interrelated sequence.  

  5. Also, unlike a book, this course is personalized and interactive, which produces lasting results as you follow the exercises and suggestions on a real piece of writing, and you can come back to the course at any time!

How the Course is Designed

The course is broken down into four sections, each section containing two strategies to help you improve your writing style, approach, and habits. Each section is an abbreviated version of Becoming a Professional Writer. These strategies will help you improve clarity, flow, presentation, and results in your writing. The ultimate outcome and goal is writing that stands out and sells.  

The version of the course includes the basics of each strategy.

Each strategy contains a slideshow and a synchronized video lecture that elaborates on each slideshow. Each strategy includes the following:  
  1. The strategy in a nutshell.
  2. An explanation that elaborates on and clarifies each strategy and best practices.
  3. Examples to explain the strategy in practice.
  4. Exercises at the end of each strategy will test your knowledge, put the strategy into practice now, and facilitate lasting changes in your writing. 
By the end of the course you will know how to do the following:

Section One

 Words and Sentences  
  • Build better clarity, flow, and conciseness in sentences through better word economy.
  • Improve tone and structure through activated sentences.

Section Two
