The Westport Writers’ Workshop has announced the launch of a business writing initiative to meet a growing need for improved business communications.
“As our reputation for top quality creative writing programs has grown in Fairfield County and beyond, the Westport Writers’ Workshop received many inquiries for business writing training,” said Jessica Bram, founder and director.
The new training is targeted at professionals striving to sharpen their writing skills and companies seeking the same for their staffs, an announcement said.
It will include classes in business and e-mail communications, document and report preparation, grant writing, proposal writing and PowerPoint presentations, the company said.
These workshops will be offered in short term units on both Saturdays and weekdays.
The new venture will officially launch with the four-hour Effective Business Writing workshop led by professional business trainer, Victoria Amon, who brings more than 25 years of corporate experience, the announcement said.
Effective Business Writing will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on both Saturday, March 2, and Monday, April 1.
The cost is $495 per person and includes a workbook summarizing the workshop’s content. Registration is limited to 18 and pre-registration at http://www.westportwritersworkshop.com is required.
“Being able to communicate effectively, succinctly and persuasively in writing is a critical skill that build careers,” said Amon. “Even in an age of texting and e-mailing, good writing is crucial.”
Established in 2004, the Westport Writers’ Workshop offers workshops in fiction, nonfiction, memoir, writing for children, play writing and now business writing, designed to nurture creativity, inspire imagination and develop the writing craft.
