What You’ll Master
Write Correctly
Let’s face it—grammar mistakes are embarrassing and make you seem less professional. (And as you may have found out the hard way, spelling and grammar checkers don’t catch everything!) Wordsmith begins with a refresher course on grammar and style, so you can nail down the basics before moving onto more complex aspects of writing.
Write Clearly
Have you ever had to explain yourself over multiple emails? Unclear communication results in lost productivity and a whole lot of frustration. Learn smart ways to make sure people get what you’re saying, the first time.
Write Concisely
There’s a rule of thumb in writing—“don’t say in three sentences what you can say in one.” Rambling writing makes you appear unsure and indecisive. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to be your own most ruthless editor, paring down long sentences to only the most important words.
Consider Context
Context is about “meeting people where they’re at.” This advanced writing skill prompts you to consider who your readers are and what they already know.
Consider Culture
How can you make sure your writing is inclusive for people of different ages, genders, cultures, races and ethnicities? How can you avoid mistakenly excluding people, such as people with disabilities, with your word choice? This advanced course empowers you to write as a professional in today’s modern world.
