Quick and dirty tips for better writing
- I often hear from people who tell me they were traumatized by getting back papers in school that were covered in red ink. They just couldn't seem to learn the rules. But good writing isn't just about rules! Sure, rules are important, and we'll talk about some of the big ones today, but it's also about thinking like a writer and empathizing with your reader. I'm Mignon Fogarty, better known as Grammar Girl, and I've been helping people write better for more than 13 years through my award-winning podcast and best-selling books. In this course, I'll walk you through some of the most common questions I get about writing, including how to write in active voice, how to use commas and quotation marks like a pro, how to write strong conclusions, and much more. I will pass on the best tips I know to quickly improve your writing and help your readers better understand what you're trying to say. So join me, and I promise, no red ink! (laughs)
