Why should you attend?

Finding the time to write your organization’s technical reports, procedures, instructional guides, email, and daily correspondence can be a challenge. Getting employees to actually read and pay attention to them is even more of one! In addition, any technical document bearing your organization’s name must be absolutely error free. Even a careless mistake in an email can damage a leader’s reputation and can make an entire work group look bad. The secret to a workday writer’s success is segmenting the prewriting, writing, and rewriting phases to produce shorter, clearer, more meaningful documents. Participants really can learn to “Write It So They Read It,” even with technical documentation.
