[CW:MONTHLY] News U.

Improve your writing by attending “Five Simple Ways to Write More Clearly,” NewsU's upcoming Webinar.

This Webinar will give you the diagnostic tools you need to make your writing more clear and persuasive. Whether you’re writing for print or online, these basic strategies will improve your work. This Webinar is offered at 2 p.m. ET, March 4.

You'll learn how to recognize red flags that lead to complex, wordy writing. You'll also learn how to avoid the “noun disease” that makes your writing soft and flabby. Can't attend the live Webinar? We'll have an archived replay available soon after the live session.

Your registration will give you access to the replay plus our bonus resources. For further information about these and other upcoming Webinars, visit: webinars.newsu.org.
