	Training

After completing our schedule of training (for corporate and country authors), the majority of our face-to-face support is for projects and individuals whose jobs require a lot of writing. We also offer advice around online marketing and persuasive writing (promotions, articles, and opinion pieces). If you are preparing your own training, we can help you with workbooks, exercises and advice.
