Good writing wins business

"This is absolutely excellent work. Thank you so much. I would have not thought it possible to reduce the word count that dramatically. It now reads much better and should fit the design brief. Awesome!"

Writing training

Most writing training focuses on tips and techniques, do's and don'ts, and leaves people with no real way of tapping into their natural self expression. Writing for Results is a different training approach that starts by freeing people up to write an ordinary first draft. Once we've done that, we train people in simple editing tools that quickly turn even the worst first draft into something that's coherent, engaging and - above all - clear.

We've led this training to hundreds of people from many organisations, and it works. More here.

op-ed pieces and more

A well-written case study is much more than a new-business tool. It's also a powerful way to showcase your full capabilities to existing clients.
