Practice Options
Many people find they can’t master a new skill just by hearing a lecture or trying it out during a workshop. It’s likely that you’ll want additional practice applying the new skills in your own situation.
Here are some ways to do that with Expert Writing. The options below can be modified or combined to suit your needs.
Four-Star Training
You can join a small group (up to six people) which meets with me in a series of online sessions. For each session, participants contribute examples of their own writing, and the group uses the Expert Writing principles to analyze and give feedback on each others’ samples.
In the group work, you’ll not only practice using the Expert Writing principles, you’ll also sharpen your ability to comment effectively on others’ writing. This part of the training is especially useful for those who manage or critique others’ writing.
Five-Star Training
This includes all the features of the four-star training. In addition, after each session I give you written comments on your writing sample for that session. Many trainees find that this really helps them see how the principles apply to their own work.
The Periodic “Tune-Up”
On a mutually agreed-upon schedule, you send me a sample of your current writing and I send back comments based on the principles you learned in the basic workshop.
Individual Coaching
We can work in person, by email, or online by web conference. I’ll help you identify your strengths and work with you to address your particular writing challenges. This works particularly well after you’ve completed the basic workshop. But of course I can also teach you the techniques as we work one-on-one.
Partnership Program
After you’ve completed the Foundations Workshop, I can help you find a writing partner. You two can exchange writing samples and offer each other suggestions based on the techniques of the course. This is a no-cost way to maintain and upgrade your skills over time.
