Mar 27 2010 - Sharpen Your Writing Skills and Succeed in Business at Raleigh’s Writing Boot Camp

With all the buzz on the Internet about the latest marketing fads, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of repetitive information. The battle for people’s eyes and ears grows ever more intense as the quantity of information swells and attention spans shorten.

When asked what prompted writers Alice Osborn and Dave Baldwin to hold the boot camp Alice replied, "Our Writing Boot Camp came about from my students requesting a class that would sharpen their grammar, style and flow. Writers in today's business climate want the confidence good grammar provides."

Dave went on to say, "One thing I've noticed about beginning writers is that they tend to focus on the wrong problem. It's the reader's point of view, not the writer’s, which ultimately dictates the success or failure of any writing. In other words, it's not a question of what to say. It's a question of what you want the reader to hear."

The areas to be addressed are: Sales and Marketing, Branding, Social Media, Business Writing Skills and Everyday Communication Protocols.

The Writing Boot Camp, Co-presented by Alice Osborn and Dave Baldwin is being held at the Holiday Inn Brownstone, 1707 Hillsborough St., Raleigh, NC 27605 on Saturday, March 27, 2010 from 8:00am – 4:30 pm. Open networking and continental breakfast at 8:00am. Class will begin promptly at 8:30. A gourmet pasta lunch is provided. The fee for The Writing Boot Camp is $249.
