“Sound like yourself, and say what you mean to say.” — Kurt Vonnegut

Most writers produce indistinguishable and pedestrian prose. How is it that some rare people, including in the workplace, set themselves apart?

Spend a day with us delving into the finer points of prose style: What makes a sentence sing? What makes for a smooth transition? How do you choose the perfect word, the perfect phrase, and make it part of the precise expression of thought?

In this advanced writing seminar, we cover:

• The structure and balance of sentences
• The ideal use of paragraph breaks
• Turning a memorable phrase
• Parallelism
• Evocative description
• Word choice
• Writing that sticks in the reader’s memory
