Avoiding the Mistakes that Tag You as an Amateur Writer

With Nora Profit of The Writing Loft

In this informative workshop, writers will learn how to recognize writing flaws that diminish the influence, power, and impact of any written work.

At the core of great writing is clarity, focus, and impact. In this ninety-minute session, Nora Profit, Director of The Writing Loft, will coach participants on avoiding common writing errors. This will be an interactive workshop with writing exercises and discussion designed to help attendees rethink their writing goals and quickly recognize structures and styles that give more power to their prose. Participants will also receive a copy of the book 10 Glaring Mistakes Amateur Writers Make and How to Avoid Them.
