An Eight-Step Guide to Upgrade Your Writing Style, Give Yourself a Professional Edge, and Stand out From the Crowd

From my own writing and life experience overcoming these challenges, this course offers real strategies to help you see true results in your writing immediately. Competitors offer similar courses at higher prices, but my chief goal is to see you succeed, because I know how it feels to struggle, and I want to help you know how it feels to succeed while offering you great value and real experience. 

This course offers actionable guidelines from every level of the writing process in a humorous and compassionate manner by someone who has years of real experience teaching writing and knowing how to make writing understandable for people like you. You can benefit from my experience without the years of struggle. I have included what I have learned in this course. 

Average Student Review--4-5 Stars 

Taught by a university professor and team lead with over 13 years experience teaching writing to thousands of students one on one and getting proven results

Strapped for cash? **One of the Best Values for a comprehensive writing course anywhere!

What makes this course better for you than other courses: 

1. Many courses don't include visuals and exercises right alongside the lectures on different stages in the writing process. This course always does, and I explain each slide, visual, or exercise.

2. This course is one of the best values where quality meets value. Since prices have risen, this course offers a great deal for the price you are paying compared to competitor courses without compromising on the course or content quality. The reviews speak for themselves.

3. Compassionate teacher who cares about your success--I have struggled in my own writing, and I have learned through experience what works and what doesn't. I present personal anecdotes, stories, tricks, and experiences to help you benefit from my experience without the struggle.

Here is what students in the course had to say. The proof is in the results students get and share in reviews:

Where do I start?   

One of the biggest frustrations writers from all levels and genres face in improving their writing is "where do I start?"  

Do you feel like your writing style needs something more to stand out and be effective, but you're not sure what? Are you a new writer that needs more tools to hone your craft effectively? Or are you an experienced writer looking for ways to improve, get your reader's attention, and sell your writing?  

What Is Unique About This Course

Tips without habits for execution will not accomplish results. That is why habits and attitudes are of equal importance. This course covers the fundamentals of effective writing style from the ground up, and it covers important habits and attitudes of effective writing.  

In just a few days, you can also practice habits and attitudes that will help you get the most out of these tips. You will see lasting success at beating your competition.

Unlike a book on the topic, this course is personalized and interactive, which produces real results as you follow the exercises and suggestions on a real piece of writing. You also have access to the instructor via email and questions are always welcome. I love to help. I love questions!
