About This Course
Most business writing fails before the second paragraph — not because the writer could not write, but because nobody taught them what a document is for. This course teaches writing that gets read and acted on: know your reader, find the one point, and put structure before sentences. You will learn to write emails whose subject lines tell the truth and whose ask comes up front, proposals that persuade honestly, and reports busy people actually finish. You will learn to edit ruthlessly — plain words, active voice, no padding — and to set tone on purpose: firm without hostile, warm without sloppy. And you will learn to write the hard messages — declines, bad news, and overdue replies — cleanly and on time. The course works on your actual writing throughout: bring real documents, anonymized, and leave with them fixed.
