Just the ticket for people on a budget

For just $9.95 a week over 12 weeks you get all this:
  • A weekly 10 minute (max.) podcast that talks you through this week's writing practice.
  • A written summary of the podcast that you can download and print out, along with supplementary notes.

What is it?

The 12-week Writing Challenge is a fast-paced intensive programme that'll have you writing faster, more succinctly and more clearly before you know it. 

It's a distilled version of Writing for Results and is perfect for:
  • Students (NCEA level or tertiary)
  • Business people who don't want to take a day out of their schedule 
  • People on a budget

What we'll coach you on

Here's what the 12 sessions cover. 

1. How to get started (death to writer's block)
2. How to organise your essay or document
3. How to state your argument
4. How to build your argument
5. Being succinct 
6. Being clear
7. Avoiding embarrassing msitakes (proofreading)
8. What you really need to know about grammar (and what you don't)

When does my training start?

You'll receive your first podcast within a week of registering, and weekly podcasts after that.
