How it Works

How it Works

Before the Workshop
Before the workshop, we will spend several hours understanding your needs for a digital writing workshop. We will assess current and common challenges your team faces on a daily basis. Understanding your writers' challenges helps us create a personalized workshop that spends time on the skills your writers need honed.

Workshop Day
Workshops are available in half-days (3 hours) and full days (7 hours + 1 hour break for lunch). Half-day workshops focus on the basic skills of digital writing; full days add in the practice of writing for mobile and social media, as well as the details of content strategy.

After the Workshop
After the workshop, each writer receives a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation to review an article written after the workshop, as well as any outstanding questions.

Our current and past clients say these 30-minute consultations are critical for reviewing lessons learned and understanding how to apply them effectively in practice.
