About this Event

Be a Better Writer is perfect for anyone who needs to write anything—from a term paper to a business letter; a magazine article or a book-length manuscript.

Aimed at both the amateur author and the professional journalist, this four-week workshop will help you refine your writing, and to discover mistakes you don’t realize you’re making. In the space of a single month, with the help of tips and tricks and a small pile of handdouts, you’ll be a better writer.
