Course Description

Overview

Writing is viewed as a source of distinction among professionals today. It’s easily one of the more effective ways to share thoughts and ideas with peers and co-professionals. 

And if you’re not writing already, I encourage you to start. Platforms like medium and LinkedIn are great places. 

Every writer discovers their own style through the writing process. But there are certain cardinal rules you shouldn’t break. It’s very possible to drop the ball here, and your readers will be the first to notice.

Proofreading is that final quality control that could be the difference between a thought-provoking read, and one that’s lacklustre. It’s an opportunity to ensure that what you’re writing represents you well, professionally.

This no-frills mini course is a curation of tools, tips and hacks that have worked well for me over the years. It’s ideal for the professional who (like me) writes when they have something to share. 

My name is Dean and I write over at https://thefinancechapter.com.

I trust you’ll get value out of this.

Thanks and enjoy!
