Technical Writing
An intensive one-day writing clinic!

You can attend FREE with STAR12 membership - Get more info.



Program Description:

The Secrets of Successful Technical Writing is an intensive one-day writing clinic that will help you master the skills you need to handle any technical writing project with ease and confidence. Like our two-day Business Writing & Grammar Skills, this workshop is packed with hands-on practice sessions that guide you through various "real world" technical writing challenges.

You'll discover how to use clustering, ranking, structuring and other shortcuts to minimize your writing time; how to create a Writer's Action Plan to organize and present information clearly and concisely; and tips for banishing wordiness and excessive technical jargon from your writing.

You'll also learn to identify and avoid the common pitfalls that often trap technical writers. The take-home materials alone are worth the cost of this training, because you'll receive timesaving templates for writing status reports, sales reports, proposals, marketing plans, summaries, RFPs/PSRs and more.

Don't leave your technical writing skills to chance! Invest a day in this information-packed clinic and you'll quickly gain the essential knowledge and expertise you need to make every technical writing project shine.
