“We saw a need for writing skills training. We wanted to get people to think more about their written communication instead of just batting e-mails back and forth with little thought.  E-mail and PDAs have resulted in some very sloppy writing that is becoming less focused and less persuasive, and therefore less effective. I purchased Write It Well’s facilitator kit for Professional Writing Skills and was able to lead an excellent writing skills workshop.  The materials were designed for trainers; the facilitator package included everything I needed.  The workshop was a success!  Everyone was very positive about it.”
