Guest post by Charles Crawley, Eastern Iowa Chapter
The Eastern Iowa Chapter of STC is offering a half-day writing workshop, It’s Not About Your Clothes: Why Style Is Important to Your Writing. The workshop is presented by Laura Behrens, owner and principal of Red Pen Communications, an editorial and consulting practice that focuses on excellent writing.
What you wear says something about you. The same goes for what you write. This learn-by-doing workshop is for professional writers, as well as those who reluctantly find themselves assigned to write. It will look into why writing clearly is so important, how technology is changing what and how we write, and why style is not frivolous, but is instead vital to your effectiveness.
The workshop will be held Tuesday, 11 March, from 1:00-5:00 PM CDT (GMT-5), at the Longbranch Hotel and Convention Center, 90 Twixt Town Road NE, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. For more information and registration, please go to the Eastern Iowa chapter website, where a detailed outline of the workshop is available.
