ProWrite® – Course contents

Most people do not plan their writing. They start without objective and structure, adding thoughts to paper without a plan. The results are mostly not supporting the objective, and you start editing the text, moving blocks of text around, write new passages and add thoughts in an aftermath of chaos, often taking more time than you thought it would to complete the task.

ProWrite helps you to methodically plan you writing step-by-step. In the end you will save valuable time and reach your goal with less effort, thereby engaging the reader with a clear and succinctly written message that leaves a good impression or fulfills your goal of convincing him to do what you set out to achieve with your writing.

You shouldn’t start with the blank page you fear, but with the information you already know — the reason you’re writing: What do you want to accomplish? Sell? Inform? Inspire? Call to action? Once you clearly state the reason you’re writing, the next steps in the process will help you along.

ProWrite training will give you the tools to achieve this. It lays out a clear process for writing anything, from reports, sales material to great email with less stress and better results!

Each session of ProWrite introduces new techniques and builds on the skills developed in the previous sessions. A detailed course-content outline is available upon request.
