Want to become an exceptional government writer?

Government employees at federal, state and local level are often called upon to write emails, reports and public documents, such as white papers, official statements and press releases.

How impactful this correspondence is will usually depend on how well it's written. 

Sadly, government writing has earned a reputation for being longwinded, hard to understand, and boringly bureaucratic. These weaknesses tend to limit its reach and influence.

Now, imagine you could write with the style and flair of writers and editors on publications like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Time magazine.

Writing Well For Government teaches you how such elite professionals do their magic. 

After learning their simple strategies and methods, you will be capable of writing as powerfully, and as beautifully, as some of the best journalists on the planet.

The course is taught by Shani Raja, a former Wall Street Journal editor who has also reported for Bloomberg News and written for The Economist newspaper. 

Demystifying the process of writing, Shani shows people in government, and professionals in other fields, how they can write in a way that grabs attention, captures hearts and minds, and doesn't alienate their audiences.

For instance, Writing Well For Government teaches you how to:

  • Write simply using plain English
  • Structure your ideas elegantly
  • Avoid ambiguity and misunderstandings
  • Make your prose punchy, crisp, graceful and stimulating
  • Shun pretentiousness in your writing
  • Steer clear of bureaucratic jargon and dreary "officialese"
  • Make your copy look smart, tidy and professional


And much more. 

The advanced writing and editing techniques taught in this course won't just boost your writing skills. They will make your written communication stand out massively from that of your peers, colleagues and competitors.
