Overview
Cross Civil Service
Being able to write well, in a way that’s compelling, persuasive and engaging, is a valuable skill. Thankfully, the guiding principles that underpin excellent writing are remarkably simple. Poor writing only emerges when we lose sight of those principles and neglect the importance of constructing an argument and understanding an audience’s needs.
Excellent writing always exhibits a variant on the basic story-telling approach of explaining the context, describing a problem and then showing how the main characters resolve this. This course demonstrates how to apply that approach to your own writing, while also exploring how a combination of logical argument, emotion and personality can help deliver an incredibly powerful message.
