Many staff writers have little grounding in grammar and punctuation, so it’s not surprising when they get it wrong in their letters and emails. This lack of expertise undermines their ability to communicate clearly and their job satisfaction. It can suggest a more general lack of expertise and can give a poor impression of the writer and the organisation they represent. This workshop will make you more capable and confident by showing you how to write grammatically, punctuate correctly, and effectively structure and layout letters and emails.

This half-day online Grammar and Punctuation workshop is for anyone who wants to be able to write clearly, effectively and mistake-free — whether that is in emails and letters, or in blog posts and press releases. We will look at grammar and punctuation, spelling and commonly confused words (such as they're, their and there).
