Persuasive Public Sector Writing Masterclass
Location: Brisbane
Date: 21 November 2023
Time: All day
Email: [email protected]
Overview:
Do your writing skills set you up for success?
Good writing skills are essential, for organisations and for the people who work in them.
All writing should be clear, concise and correct. Good quality public sector writing should also be professional, persuasive and polished. Does your writing tick all of these boxes?
If your answer is no, you’re not alone. Public sector writing can be challenging and time-consuming. You have to contend with different audiences, rigid deadlines and complex topics.
While the basic skills of good writing are critical, you need more to meet the demands of more involved government communication. You need to be able to present every case confidently and well, regardless of who you are writing to or what you are writing about. You need to be able to communicate complex issues clearly and with influence. You must be able to use words, structure, flow and more to deliver compelling arguments and convincing information that people will want to read.
This masterclass will help you to make the most of your existing skills and practise new ones. It will also offer tips and techniques to make your writing easier, faster and more effective.
