Description:  In this workshop, you will learn technical writing strategies that improve workplace writing, including reports, proposals, emails, and web text. The material will not be academic or abstract but instead will be drawn from the experience of a working technical writer and editor. In addition to applying these strategies in our own writing, the four keys will help you communicate with coworkers or employees whose writing may need improvement. The first day will cover the strategies and guided application. The second day will include workplace simulation of actual technical writing challenges.
