Training your writers
As writers, we can train other writers without sounding professorial, or irrelevant.
We know most of the crises
they face. We have worked through many of the problems they encounter. We
speak from shared experience.
Our workshops aim at adults. We do not just lay out a rule, and then force
students to do an exercise to learn it.
Our approach assumes that professional writers can understand quickly why
a particular strategy answers a problem they have faced. Exercises and
discussions aim at deepening their grasp of the strategy, not just
repeating a phrase by rote.
We have trained professional writers on more than two dozen corporate campuses, and in
programs at U.C. Berkeley, Stanford, U.C. Santa Cruz, and the
University of New Mexico, as well as through the Seminars in Usable
Design, the IEEE, ACM, and Society for Technical Writers.
Customize for your staff
We tailor most training by reviewing current documentation, taking
examples from there, and rewriting all handouts to reflect the industry,
and the particular department we are working with. For more information,
please call us at 505 898-4912.
How we charge
Fees depend on the degree of customization needed to incorporate examples
from your own work into the workshop.
