“I don’t need outlines—I write best when I’m free from constraints.”
“I can’t cut any of this material—it’s all essential.”
“I need to use complex words; if I don’t, people won’t take me seriously.”
“Another round of edits? Seriously? The article is perfectly clear to me.”
“Is writing supposed to be this hard? Maybe it’s just not for me.”
If you’re a writer or editor, you’ve likely heard such claims. You may even have said them yourself.
The fact is that writing well is hard. But it’s also a skill that anyone can learn—and one you can always improve.
If you want to write more clearly and persuasively, this workshop is for you.
Led by Thomas Walker-Werth, you’ll read Ayn Rand’s The Art of Nonfiction. And, applying its proven principles, you’ll develop your own article.
You’ll learn how to:
