Become a Better Writer in One Day: An Academic Writing Guide

Description

Hi my name is Howard. Thank you for stopping by my course landing page. You’ve probably noticed that this course is much shorter than other writing courses. The fact is, many of us will find it difficult to dedicate 3 or 4 hours to taking a course on writing with all our other responsibilities and commitments. This course focuses only on key issues that many writers face and quickly presents solutions for overcoming them. Think about it like reading a summary instead of an entire book. Sure, the book may have a lot more details, but the summary captures the main points.

For example, many writers get stuck on the first sentence of an introduction, or they may start writing a body paragraph then lose their chain of thought. This course guides you through planning and writing essays. When you take a few minutes to plan before you start writing, you are less likely to become stuck. See, just practical, easy-to-follow instructions that will help you overcome writer’s block and become unstuck.

The popular writing prompt, ‘What is your favorite food and why do you like it,’ is used to take writers from the outline creation stage of essay writing to the first draft of a five-paragraph, five-sentence essay.

This course also introduces writers to the research essay. Just the name, ‘research essay,’ may sound intimidating. Luckily, this course walks you through each step of the planning and authoring process.

An updated downloadable makes it easier to take your essay planning and writing offline. You will find the blank templates invaluable when writing your essays.

Get ready to learn basic grammar and punctuation, essay outline creation, essay planning, and writing in a few easy-to-follow steps.
